Consultation description

The consultation on the Plastic Pollution Plan for Northern Ireland does not create new policy, but rather details targets incorporated in existing policies and strategies across Northern Ireland and identifies the actions and activities taking place or planned that will contribute to a reduction in plastic pollution.

Responses received from the public consultation will be considered in the development of the final Plastic Pollution Plan for Northern Ireland which will be published in due course.

We are inviting responses from both individual members of the public and organisations via citizen space.
