Banning wet wipes containing plastic is part of a wider commitment to encourage more sustainable behaviours around the consumption of single-use plastic. The Government recognise the scale and impact of plastic pollution on the environment and are focused on preventing and reducing plastic and other litter entering our environment. We are committed to moving to a circular economy for plastics; this is a future where we keep our resources in use for longer, waste is reduced, we accelerate the path to net zero, we see investment in critical infrastructure and green jobs, our economy prospers and nature thrives. We will publish the first-ever circular economy strategy for England in the coming months.
