Guidance to help suppliers identify if their products are banned plastic items, and whether they are considered to be 'single-use'.

• Plastics definition, for suppliers
• fact sheet (PDF 599KB) – outlines which types of plastic items are subject to the bans and has information to help you identify which items are plastic
