++ Important: Ban on single-use plastic items ++

From 1 October 2023 businesses must no longer supply, sell or offer certain single-use plastic items in England*. Single-use plastics ban: plates, bowls, trays, containers, cutlery and balloon sticks.

You are probably already aware but this will affect a wide range of takeaway, fast food and other hospitality outlets, failure to comply may result in considerable fines.

*Similar bans are either in force or coming into force in Scotland, Wales & N. Ireland
