According to a recent announcement by Buckingham Palace, plastics and non-biodegradable materials will be phased out of royal premises to make way for more sustainable alternatives.
In the effort to ‘go green,’ the new plan requires royal cafe takeaway food containers to be compostable or biodegradable, while those working and living within Buckingham Palace only being able to use crockery, glasses, or recyclable cups.
The environmentally conscious move is reportedly inspired by naturalist David Attenborough after he met with the Queen to work together on a nature documentary about wildlife in The Commonwealth.
