Single-use plastic plates and food utensils1 to be banned in England 英格兰地区将禁用一次性塑料餐盘和餐具

 

英国政府已证实,英格兰地区将禁止使用塑料餐具、餐盘和聚苯乙烯托盘等一次性物品。英国环境大臣特雷丝·科菲说,此举将有助于保护环境,造福后代。

Each person in England gets through an average of 18 single-use plastic plates and 37 plastic items of cutlery every year, according to government figures. Just ten per cent are recycled. A plastic fork can take 200 years to decompose in landfill or in the ocean.

政府数据显示,英格兰人均每年使用18个一次性塑料餐盘和37件塑料餐具,而其中只有10%被回收利用。一个塑料叉在垃圾填埋场或海洋中可能需要200年才能降解。

Now the Environment Secretary Thérèse Coffey is set to ban a range of single-use plastic items, mainly relating to takeaway food and drink. She said the move would prevent billions of pieces of plastic from polluting the natural environment.

现在,英国环境大臣特雷丝·科菲计划禁用一系列一次性塑料制品,主要针对外卖食品和饮料使用的餐具。她表示,该举将防止数十亿块塑料污染自然环境。

Similar bans have already been introduced in Scotland and Wales, while single-use plastic straws, stirrers and cotton buds were banned in England in 2020.

类似的禁令已在苏格兰和威尔士实施,而英格兰于2020年已经禁用一次性塑料吸管、搅拌棒和棉签。

This latest move follows a long consultation2 but does not cover items found in supermarkets or shops. The Government said it would address those by other means. Environmental campaigners have welcomed the ban but called for a wider-ranging plastic reduction strategy.

这项最新举措是经过长时间的公共意见征询后决定的,但禁令不包括超市或商店中的一次性塑料餐具。政府表示将通过其它方式解决这类塑料问题。环境保护主义者对这项禁令表示支持,但呼吁制定更广泛的减少塑料的战略。
