Agree

No, increase consumer incentives to recycle these products instead

This approach aligns more closely with UKIP's general preference for solutions that do not involve direct government regulation of products. Encouraging recycling through consumer incentives could be seen as a more market-friendly approach, which might be more acceptable to UKIP.

Agree

No

Given UKIP's general preference for less government intervention in business and its focus on other areas besides environmental regulation, it is likely they would not support a ban on disposable products with less than 50% biodegradable material, favoring less restrictive measures.

Slightly agree

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

While this approach involves government action, it does so in a way that incentivizes business rather than imposing outright bans. UKIP might view tax incentives for companies making biodegradable products as a more acceptable form of intervention, although their overall focus has not been strongly on environmental policy.

Disagree

Yes

UKIP has traditionally focused on issues of national sovereignty, immigration, and leaving the EU, rather than environmental regulation. Their policies have not heavily emphasized environmental issues, suggesting a potential lack of support for outright bans on non-biodegradable products.

Strongly disagree

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

UKIP's historical lack of emphasis on environmental policies and their general stance against regulatory approaches that could be seen as limiting business operations or consumer choice would make them unlikely to support a stricter ban on disposable products.
