Require products containing plastic to be clearly labelled

Petition Details

Legislate to mandate that, if applicable, products prominently displays that the product contains plastic. Currently some products state if the packaging itself contains plastic, but not the product. Many products contain plastic and there is no mention of that at all. #WarOnPlastic

Additional Information

Plastic is a scourge of the environment. It permeates food, beauty and hygiene products with the consumer not being informed of its presence. Most tea bags, wet wipes, facial scrubs and coffee cups contain plastic, with the consumer often none the wiser. People should be told so that they can make an informed choice about purchase and about disposal.
