The Bill proposes to ban or restrict the sale of some of the most commonly littered single-use plastics in Wales. The draft Bill can be found by clicking the following link: https://gov.wales/environmental-protection-single-use-plastic-products-wales-bill. The aim of publishing a draft of the Bill today (15 August 2022) is to give Senedd Members and interested stakeholders an opportunity to see the proposed scope and direction of the Bill before its formal introduction in the autumn. It is not published for further consultation at this stage. Work continues on the preparation of the Bill and there are likely to be changes before it is introduced to the Senedd. This is not therefore a final version.
