Plastic straws, cutlery and polystyrene food and drink containers are to be banned in Wales as part of wider measures to make Wales the world’s top recycling nation … To mark Global Recycling Day, the Welsh Government’s plans are designed to restrict single-use, hard to recycle and commonly littered plastics, as part of wider efforts to tackle the problem of plastic pollution, and help move Wales towards a circular economy. The single use plastics include: straws, stirrers, cotton buds, balloon sticks, plates & cutlery, and food and drinks containers made of expanded polystyrene products made from oxo-degradable plastic … A consultation on the proposals will take place in the coming months …”.
