UK: Airports told to stop using millions of plastic bags at security
UK airports were on Friday told to stop using millions of plastic bags at security and find sustainable alternatives. Plastic bags are handed out at all major airports in the UK, with more than 13m used a year at just London City and London Stansted airport. On Friday, the DoT told airports they must “do their bit” to help curb the plastic waste. A spokesperson said: "This government is determined to cut single use plastic and the use of eco-friendly plastic bags at airports would be a welcome step in the right direction. We would encourage airlines and airports to do their bit." <br/>
