I’m pleased to inform you that the Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic Products) (Wales) Bill (Bill) was passed by the Senedd on the 6 December.
This is an important step in ensuring Wales is free from unnecessary single-use plastics (SUP). By banning or restricting the supply of commonly littered products we will avoid leaving a toxic plastic legacy for future generations to deal with. It will also help us respond to the climate and nature emergencies.
We have prepared initial awareness raising infographic materials (attached) for businesses and disabled people.
For businesses, the information sets out how businesses should prepare for the bans, and for disabled people the information sets out how single-use plastic straws can still be accessed by disabled people who need this product to eat and drink safely and independently
