The Government is “dragging its feet” over pledges to ban single-use plastics, campaigners have warned - a full year since ministers pledged tougher action.
More than 50,000 people responded to the Tories' call for evidence last year, and overwhelmingly demanded an immediate end to sales of single-use plastic cutlery and burger trays.
Green group City to Sea blasted the Department for the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) over its inaction, with England now the only country in Europe without legislation banning one-use plastic plates, cutlery and food containers.
