<p>The impact of single-use plastics is a critical concern for Defra and I have praised
outlets that have switched to using plant based drinking straws and those that have
stopped automatically providing straws. The extent of single-use plastics needs to
be addressed and options for engagement with key stakeholders are being drawn up,
for example in relation to developing a renewed strategy on waste and resources that
looks ahead at opportunities outside the EU. These will include discussions with leading
retailers.</p>
