Business survey
The OIM wants to hear from a wide range of stakeholders, including SMEs and others in the supply chain, about their experience of dealing with regulatory changes in relation to single-use plastics. The OIM particularly invites views on how businesses have responded to the changes and the extent to which differences in the timing or substance of regulations have impacted policymaking and innovation across the UK.
The OIM is running a short online survey which will run until 16 September 2024. We encourage early responses.
Businesses and other interested stakeholders can also share views by emailing OIM-SUP@cma.gov.uk.
