URGENT⚡️It’s the opportunity of a lifetime, the UK government is considering charges on single-use plastic. It will take 2 minutes to answer their consultation and help our oceans! https://t.co/YZOcPWByAF #STOPthePlasticTide #pointlessplastic

Say NO to single-use plastic: The government is asking the public if they should take action. https://t.co/SVKMMgXQMu

Unfortunately @greenloustevens and @innocent are going down the wrong path with 15% #recyclable #bioplastic. These bottles will be going straight to landfill to become #plasticsoil, or harming our #wildlife when littered. Believe us - this is no solution

Perhaps the answer is less packing of any kind. We really don't need it all https://t.co/UZKu5lbm8O

With businesses looking to move away from plastics and seek more environmental friendly products I.e #compostable products, are the compostable suppliers and waste streams ready for this change? Can they manage with the new demand coming? #plasticwaste #plastics #composting
