Plastic cutlery and polystyrene containers banned in England

Plastic cutlery and polystyrene cups and food containers are now officially banned in England.

New restrictions on single-use plastics have come into effect - joining a similar ban in Scotland.

While environmental campaigners say more still needs to be done to combat plastic, businesses, such as Bally Singh’s fish and chip restaurant describes how the ban has caused financial strains.
