The British government announced the suspension of supply/sales of disposable plastic products from October 1.
Earlier, similar regulations were introduced in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

It is estimated that Britain uses 27 billion pieces of disposable tableware (mostly plastic) and 721 million disposable plates each year, but only 10% are recovered.If 27 billion pieces of tableware are arranged, they will go around the earth for more than eight and a half laps and a half (15 cm tableware).

A few points of the British Government's ban on plastics issued by the British government:
1. Plastic straws have long been banned. This time, the range is only expanded to all disposable plastic products.
2. The ban is applicable to all merchants, including retailers, takeaway stores and hotel industries.
3. Britain will prohibit the use of disposable plastic products, including tableware, plates, bowls, etc.

4. The British government is still considering banning other common litter and problem plastic products, and forced logo on packaging.
5. The ban is not suitable for plates, bowls and trays used as packaging, and will promote the use of recyclable packaging through other measures.
6. Britain is committed to cooperating with international partners to solve the problem of plastic pollution and support the negotiation of legal constraints of plastic pollution.


Due to the banning order, some companies have to redesign the packaging.
Some sellers said that the current difficulty is to find new suppliers and cost adjustments, and to sell the current inventory in a limited time.

It is reported that the legislation may affect a series of very specific types of packaging, from sticky labels on the fruit to coffee bags.For example, it stipulates that the packaging should outline its ingredients on the packaging so that consumers can be recovered correctly.

We call on all customers to ensure that all products are in line with local plastic regulations when applying for customs, and actively adopt sustainable alternatives.

When the seller performs product packaging and selection, it can consult more supply factories. Whether the product's outer packaging meets the "plastic ban" requirements.Try to purchase alternative biodegradable products such as paper cups or wooden tableware.

"We have heard the public's opinions and the implementation of this disposable plastic ban is an important measure to protect the environment for future generations."
