Given the importance, not to mention the immediacy, of our current relationship with the environment, it comes as no surprise to hear that relevant legislation comes in many forms. Over the years, we have developed a reputation for a proactive approach to our legal and ethical responsibilities, and this has placed us in the ideal position to help a wide range of customers within the hospitality and events sectors.
Perhaps the most significant legal impact for those operating within these sectors came in October 2023. England’s single-use plastics ban means businesses must no longer supply, sell or offer single-use plastic items. This has already impacted businesses across the country, including those supplying cups, glasses, plates, cutlery and more to festivals, concerts, sporting events, country fairs, village fetes and the like.
As well as this particular piece of legislation, which has also been taking shape in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, various other legal documents affect the hospitality sector. They include the following:
The problem for many business owners lies in the complexity of each piece of legislation. This is of course a pressurised, hectic sector of industry, making it difficult to even find the time to take in the ramifications of remaining within the law. While you’re coping with the tensions of an already stressful job, how on earth can you be expected to know whether your processes are keeping you from breaching the various environmental regulations?
As a family-run business working within the industry for many years, Blue Planet Washing Solutions are in the perfect position to help our customers in a number of ways.
