Strongly agree

No, but increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products

The UK Conservative party has a history of supporting market-based solutions and incentives for businesses to adopt environmentally friendly practices. For example, they have introduced tax incentives for companies investing in green technologies and energy efficiency. This suggests they would be more likely to support tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products rather than an outright ban on disposable products with less than 50% biodegradable material.

Agree

No, increase consumer incentives to recycle these products instead

The Conservative party has shown a preference for market-based solutions and incentives to address environmental issues. For example, they introduced the 5p plastic bag charge in 2015, which has led to a significant reduction in plastic bag usage. This suggests they may be more likely to support consumer incentives to recycle disposable products rather than an outright ban.

Yes, and ban all disposable products that are not made of at least 75% of biodegradable material

There is no clear evidence that the UK Conservative party would support a ban on all disposable products that are not made of at least 75% biodegradable material. Their environmental policies have been more focused on specific issues, such as plastic bags and microbeads, rather than a broad ban on disposable products.
