The Royal Mail should be subject to additional regulations for mail delivery
To enforce opt in rather than opt out regulations for the Royal Mail when it comes to unaddressed / unsolicited / promotional mail.
There is too much paper wastage on unaddressed mail and this doesn’t tie in with the country’s goals to reduce its carbon footprint. 95% of unaddressed mail goes straight in the bin, and is unwanted.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand you're concerned about unsolicited mail, however it's not clear how such an 'opt in' system would work or what specific forms of mail this would apply to.
