We've complied our top picks

Mar 24, 2022

Throughout Scotland, from 1st June 2022, it will become unlawful to commercially supply eight of the country's most commonly used single-use plastic items as the Scottish Government takes further steps to address the climate crisis. We've compiled our top picks for food and drink businesses left looking for alternatives. 

Plant-based and compostable swaps for plastic packaging

This summer, market restrictions come into play across Scotland which prevent the sale and manufacture of plastic plates, cutlery, cups (and lids), stirrers, straws, polystyrene takeout containers and balloon sticks. The latest slew of undesirables join previously banished items - plastic stemmed cotton buds, microbeads and plastic bags which were all banned in 2019 - on the list of Scotland’s outlawed single-use products. If you need alternatives then look no further, we've compiled our top pick of alternative products which you’ll find as a dedicated collection here at our online shop.
