11 Jan 2023 --- The UK’s Foodservice Packaging Association (FPA) says that England’s plan to enforce a ban on single-use plastic cutlery, plates and trays for the hospitality sector is unfair and that there is no scientific basis to suggest the measure will help protect the environment. The association also says the government’s lack of communication with industry is undemocratic. The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is expected to formally announce its intention on the ban this Saturday following a consultation period that closed in February last year. A draft of the regulation was leaked to the media this week.
