Steve Malkin, founder of The Planet Mark, suggests that businesses should view an approaching ban as a business opportunity rather than a threat.
He says: “Today’s government announcement of an upcoming consultation banning a number of single use plastic products demonstrates the urgency of action required to protect our environment.
“There are many businesses that will be feeling alarmed at the pace of events. For them, it is a pivotal time to respond to the risk that this may pose to their business.
“To make this news digestible, The Planet Mark has published a free advice guide providing guidance on how businesses can begin tackling their plastic pollution.”
The guide to plastic consumption and how to reduce it can be downloaded on The Planet Mark website.
