Jacinda Ardern has vowed to ban plastic cutlery, single-use coffee cups and fruit stickers if she wins the election. Businesses will have five years to find substitutes to everyday plastic items, such as disposable cups and lids, straws and drink stirrers. Jacinda Ardern has vowed to ban plastic cutlery, single-use coffee cups. 'All of these items currently have non-plastic alternatives, and some we will be able to phase out before 2025.' While Labour previously announced an intention to ban single-use plastics, it did not include a time frame.
