One week to go for single-use plastic survey

There is just under one week to go to have your say on the use of single-use plastics on the Isle of Man.

The Manx government is asking for public feedback on banning items like cutlery, straws, carrier bags and food containers.

A consultation was launched last month to gauge public opinion on the ban, which could form part of the Climate Change Bill- expected to become law later this year.

Under the proposals, businesses would be allowed a six-month grace period to use up their existing single-use plastic stock before sales become illegal. 

The consultation closes on 1 September- you can have you say here.
