It will mean businesses are no longer allowed to supply some items like polystyrene cups and plastic cutlery. \u201cThis new ban is the next big step in our mission to crack down on harmful waste,\u201d said Environment Minister Rebecca Pow. The government already has \u201cworld-leading bans\u201d and taxes on other forms of plastic, she added. The new rules will \u201cprotect the environment and help to cut litter &#8211; stopping plastic pollution dirtying out streets and threatening our wildlife\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>From 1 October, businesses like shops, restaurants and takeaways won\u2019t be able to supply, sell or offer certain single-use plastic items to customers. They could face fines and criminal charges if they don\u2019t comply with the new rules. The ban includes cutlery, polystyrene cups and food containers, and balloon sticks. It covers all types of single-use plastic including biodegradable, compostable and recycled.<\/p>\n<p>City to Sea, one of the charities that helped push for the ban, says that it was \u201chard won and very slow to come into place\u201d. It points out that England&#8217;s measures are being introduced two years after similar rules were mandated across the EU and four years after they were agreed upon by all European institutions. Some member states have gone even further like France where single-use plastic packaging on more than 30 types of fruit and veg and throwaway packaging for eat-in restaurants have been banned.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2023\/10\/02\/england-bans-single-use-plastic-what-is-and-isnt-included-in-the-new-rules\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-408\/\">England bans single-use plastic: What is and isn\u2019t included in the new rules?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[677,910,575,7390],"class_list":["post-117334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ban","tag-england","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-single-use-plastic"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117334\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
