Isn't polystyrene / styrofoam an issue too?

[Xeronema]

Wow, that's a bold move.

[royfromaus]

Excellent news.

But not for gulliver as I think that will be enough to get them delectated again.

[Xeronema]

My thoughts exactly Tigger, surely polystyrene/styrofoam is also an issue.

Polystyrene isn't biodegradable but it is easy to recycle.

The Regulations in Scotland come into effect last June and the ban includes-

single-use expanded polystyrene beverage containers;
single-use expanded polystyrene beverage cups;
single-use expanded polystyrene food containers.

I wish the government would do something about microfibre and 'fleece'.

[youngmafbog]

Dont see how any one can complain.

And yes it needs to go further but you cant just blanket ban everything, the industry needs time to react and come up with alternatives.

[jno]

you want the government to stop fleecing you, barry? Good luck with that.

McDonalds up here have introduced cutlery which self-destructs when you try to use it thereby speeding up the recycling process.

Must try harder rather than faff about with greenwashing.

They've been using wooden cutlery in our canteen for a few years now and a number of well known fast food outlets have been using cardboard containers and paper.

Other, independent fast food shops need to stop using polystyrene containers. They go into landfill and you can't burn them as they release toxic chemicals.
