BPF Statement in Response to Government Announcement That Straws, Cotton Buds and Stirrers Are to be Banned.
Wednesday, 22 May 2019
The BPF strongly supports reduction measures that ensure that straws, cotton buds and stirrers are only used when strictly necessary and that allow those who really benefit from particular items to retain access to them. Regardless of the material straws, cotton buds or stirrers are made from, they have an environmental cost and need to be disposed of responsibly.
