PUPILS from two West Fife primaries have urged Fife Council to bin polystyrene lunch boxes. The disposable containers were introduced in schools across Fife after lockdown and youngsters from both Dalgety Bay and Limekilns primaries are campaigning for the local authority to find an alternative. Kim Blasco, from Plastic-Free Fife, said the polystyrene boxes are used for transporting meals to classrooms and are accompanied by plastic cutlery – since ditched by the council after kids complained. While appropriate measures to protect against COVID-19 are of course essential, there are a number of issues with single-use polystyrene containers, he explained. Polystyrene food containers are not recycled in Fife and will therefore end up in landfill where they will remain for hundreds of years, or worse still, escape into the environment.
