Single-use plastic ban on the way?

Findings of public consultation set to be released

The banning of single-use plastic items in the Isle of Man is expected to take a step closer next week.

The Government's due to issue the findings of its recent public consultation into the issue.

Once finalised, the regulations will go to Tynwald for approval.

They'll make up part of the Climate Change Bill, which recently gained Royal Assent.

It's hoped the move will play a major part in the Government's commitment to significantly reduce plastic consumption.
