National Assembly for Wales

To propose that Senedd:

1. Notes a proposal for a Bill to ban the use of single use plastic on fresh produce for fruits and vegetables that have been proven to receive no or negligible benefit in elongating shelf life when packaged in plastic.

2. Notes that the purpose of this Bill would be to:

a) reduce the amount of unnecessary single use plastic across Welsh supply chains, protecting the environment and human health;

b) reduce food waste and reduce the burden on household finances by allowing consumers to buy only what they need based on weight.

3. Notes that the Bill would apply only when purchasing fruit and vegetables in quantities below 1.5kg.
