“The move will help protect the environment for future generations,” Environment Secretary Thérèse Coffey said.
According to estimates, England uses 1.1 billion single-use plates and 4.25 billion items of single-use cutlery — most of which are plastic — per year, but only 10% are recycled upon disposal. (ILKHA)
