Environment: Wales' single-use plastics ban begins

Takeaways are binning disposable forks forever as a ban on single-use plastics comes into force in Wales.

From Monday they will be prohibited, along with other chip shop staples such as polystyrene trays.

On Cardiff’s Caroline Street - perhaps better known as Chippy Lane - businesses are swapping plastic forks for wooden ones and polystyrene trays for ones made from corn starch.

The move follows similar bans in England and Scotland.
