England’s putting a ban on more plastic items in October.
, England’s ban “is too narrow in its scope,” as it doesn’t “cover single-use plastic water bottles, makes no mention of plastic bags and does not even try to control the burning of plastic waste in incinerators.” Meanwhile, Meg Randles, a political campaigner at Greenpeace UK, but says the move is “long overdue” and “still a drop in the ocean compared to the action that’s needed to stem the plastic tide.
In addition to an extended ban on single-use plastics, the country’s also “carefully considering” restrictions on wet wipes, tobacco filters, and sachets. It may also require companies to add labeling to plastic products to inform customers how to properly dispose of them, and is working towards developing a bottle return program.
