Single use plastic ban comes into force in England with plastic cutlery and plates off the table

A ban on single-use plastic plates and cutlery and certain types of polystyrene cups and containers came into force in England on Sunday.
It follows a similar move by Scotland last year, while a ban in Wales comes in later this month. The ban also includes single-use plastic trays, bowls and balloon sticks, with the Westminster government stated aim one of reducing plastic pollution. Bally Singh, who runs Hooked Fish and Chips in west London, is having to swap from polystyrene to cardboard containers and cups at a cost of nearly £1,000 a year. He said: "I agree with the change, we need to be more sustainable in regard to our planet but it is a lot for us, a small business.
