Ban the use of polystyrene in packaging to protect our environment and wildlife.

Petition Details

I want the UK government to ban polystyrene in packing and packaging materials. It's harmful to wildlife and the environment. We need to take action to protect our planet and create a more sustainable future.

Additional Information

Polystyrene is a non-biodegradable material that contributes to pollution and poses a threat to wildlife and the environment. When polystyrene products are discarded, they can break down into microplastics, which can be ingested by marine animals and accumulate in the food chain. By taking action, we can reduce non-recyclable waste, protect wildlife, and promote more sustainable practices.
