answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2018 answer text <p>The UK has made significant progress to address the scourge of plastic in the oceans. Our ban on microbeads in cosmetic and personal care products, one of the strongest in the world, came into force in June 2018. We are also researching the management of other sources of microplastics such as microfibres in tyres and the textile industry, which will help to inform future policy measures. Our plastic bag charge has led to an 86% reduction in the use of plastic carrier bags and last year alone raised over £51million for environmental causes.</p><p>We are also consulting on banning or restricting the distribution and/or sale of plastic stemmed cotton buds, stirrers and straws.</p><p>The UK is committed to our international work to lead action on the global threat of marine litter. We continue to actively engage internationally through OSPAR, the G7 and the G20, and the UN. Earlier this year, the Prime Minister announced the Commonwealth Clean Oceans Alliance, a ground-breaking initiative working with our Commonwealth partners to reduce marine plastic pollution. To help deliver this, we committed an ambitious package of up to £66.4m of UK Aid to drive research and innovation and stop plastic from entering into the oceans in the first place. Through this alliance we will build on the UK’s world-leading microbeads ban and 5p plastic bag charge to harness the full power of the Commonwealth in safeguarding our marine environment for future generations.</p><p>Although 80% of plastic waste comes from land, 20% comes from oceans sources. Ghost fishing gear accounts for 10% of all plastic waste in the ocean and presents acute threats to marine life. That is why the UK signed up to the Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI) in 2016, a pioneering scheme tackling lost and abandoned fishing gear on a global scale. Through this initiative we are committed to working with our partners to address the management of existing ghost gear and the mitigation of potential ghost gear.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 31/10/2018 16:32:50 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
