A campaign group has delivered a petition with 13,000 signatures to Barry’s Tea HQ in Cork after the group claims the company have “not met their promises” to remove plastic from their teabags.

Uplift, the campaign group, also brought along a giant mug made of cardboard, filled with plastic to highlight their cause.
