This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

There are already legal requirements on retailers and other businesses to recycle some of the packaging the produce. You can find out more here:

www.gov.uk/guidance/packaging-producer-responsibilities

You could start a new petition calling for the Government to change these rules if that is something you would like to see happen.
