The ban aims to tackle the 100 billion pieces of plastic thrown away every year, but some hospitality workers are concerned the ban will skyrocket the price of takeaway containers and cups.
Edit Shahin is the manager at Cafe Bueno in Romford, East London."Absolutely every piece of stock, every item of food has risen in price in the last year, so this [ban] might seem like something small, but it's not," he said.
Cafe Bueno already stocks some aluminium foil trays for takeaway meals, and Mr Shahin says they are more expensive than polystyrene containers and wants the government to reduce the price of plastic alternatives for businesses."But there's thousands of businesses in the UK, takeaway shops mainly, who all use plastic cups, plastic takeaway containers, so it will affect the whole of the UK, not just us. It's just pretty much damaging small businesses.
"We all know the absolutely devastating impacts that plastic can have on our environment and wildlife.
