The Department for International Trade is committed to reducing its use of single-use plastics and is actively taking steps to achieve this.

At our London headquarters, we have already replaced plastic food containers from our catering services, with bio-degradable alternatives.

We will continue to work with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and our suppliers to remove single-use plastics from our office estate.
