The EU is working to ban plastic plates and cutlery but the UK Government is not doing the same in England
Ministers have been accused by campaigners of failing to uphold their Brexit promise of ensuring UK environmental standards do not drop following the divorce with Brussels.
European Union member states are currently legislating to bring in a Brussels directive to ban the most polluting single-use plastics, including cutlery, plates and polystyrene food containers, but the UK Government has yet to follow suit in England.
UK Government ministers regularly stated following the 2016 Brexit referendum that the country would uphold high environmental standards even after the split from the bloc, promising to be a world leader in green issues.
