Subsidise the recycling of plastics and the production of alternatives
The situation is too extreme for recycling alone to fix- but it’s a start. Most companies see recycling as not cost-effective and so produce more plastic, destroying our planet; and so the government needs to subside recycling, and fund production of alternatives for a long-term solution.

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the recycling of plastics is already subsidised through the funding of the recycling process by local authorities. At present it's a decision for local authorities what materials they recycle.
You could start a new petition calling for a national recycling service directly funded by central government if that is something you would like to see happen.
