Single use plastics ban
Created: 01/06/2022
News/Events Category: General NewsScotland has become the first part of the UK to implement a ban on many of the most problematic single-use plastics, as legislation comes into force today (Wednesday 01 June 2022).
The ban means it will be an offence for businesses in Scotland to provide the items – which include plastic cutlery, plates and stirrers.
Around 700 million of these single-use items are currently used in Scotland every year.
The regulations come into force following a six month grace period, during which Zero Waste Scotland ran a business campaign to raise awareness on how to prepare.
