The Final Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment for the ban on the supply and sale of wet wipes containing plastic, the Environmental Protection (Wet Wipes Containing Plastic) (Scotland) Regulations 2026.


Declaration

I have read the Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment and I am satisfied that it represents a fair and reasonable view of the expected costs, benefits and impact of the policy, and that these have been taken into account when making the policy decision. I am satisfied that business impact has been assessed with the support of businesses in Scotland.

I am also satisfied that officials have considered the impact on consumers as required by the Consumer Scotland Act 2020 in completion of the Consumer Duty section of this BRIA.
