Beverage Containers: Polystyrene
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether people can import polystyrene cups into the UK.
- Answer
-
The supply of expanded and foamed extruded polystyrene food and drinks containers, including cups, that are used to contain food or drink that is ready-to-consume has been banned since 1 October 2023.
However, you may still import polystyrene cups. This facilitates their movement through the supply chain to allow for other uses.
