The Ban on single-use plastic

The UK government is expanding its crackdown on single-use plastic, with new bans coming into effect by the end of 2023. Many disposable plastic items are already prohibited, but now even more products will be restricted in hospitality and catering settings.  As a result, businesses must act fast to find eco-friendly alternatives that meet regulations and protect the environment.

What single-use plastic is Being Banned?

Items such as plastic cutlery, plates, bowls, trays, and polystyrene food containers will be banned across England. This will impact street food vendors, takeaways, outdoor events, and any venue using single-use food packaging. The goal is to reduce plastic waste and promote sustainable practices. However, these changes require new thinking from hospitality businesses.

Reusable Packaging: A Smart, Sustainable Solution

Many outdoor venues rely on disposables for speed and convenience. Unfortunately, this often leads to large clean-ups and high waste costs. In addition, recycling isn’t always available or cost-effective, especially at temporary or high-traffic event spaces. Reusable food packaging offers a better alternative. Our durable, dishwasher-safe reusable food boxes can be used up to 1,000 times. They’re ideal for events, street food markets, and busy kitchens looking to cut waste and save money.
