The Scottish Government have launched a consultation on introducing market restrictions on single-use plastic items in Scotland.

The focus of this consultation is to gather views on their planned approach to introducing market restrictions on single-use plastics in Scotland. Consultation responses will be analysed and will inform our policy, as we match the EU Single-Use Plastic Directive. Subject to the outcome of the consultation, it would be our intention to legislate for these changes in 2021.
