The Government is on a journey to eliminate all avoidable plastic waste by 2042. This month sees another step forward, with a ban on single use plastic cutlery, balloon sticks, polystyrene cups or food containers. It follows an earlier ban on single use plastic straws, stirrers, cotton buds and a tax on plastic bags. (It's worth noting that the new rules stop short of plastic packaging, which is due to be tackled separately). Your brand can support this culture shift for your contacts. Our #SustainableCorporateGift range features reusable cutlery sets including our favourite sporks and we're able to supply cardboard balloon sticks if you need them. All can be printed to reflect your logo and message👉 https://lnkd.in/e76wQ47x Let's embrace this policy change and the more sustainable (brandable) products that are ready to integrate into our lives.
