Marks & Spencer<\/a><\/span> will stop displaying knickers and bars on hangers in a bid to cut down on plastic waste, after announcing a nationwide ban on the sale of disposable barbecues.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The decision came after the the high street retailer received complaints from customers ordering lingerie, nightwear, and children\u2019s clothes online.<\/p>\n

They claimed that online purchases were delivered with unnecessary plastic hangers, rather than being folded with reduced packaging.<\/p>\n

Some shoppers have taken to social media to express their disappointment over the retailer's use of hangers.<\/p>\n

Really @marksandspencer<\/a> sending a plastic coat hanger for a simple t-shirt seems ridiculous let alone 3 for my order I\u2019ve just received! I wonder how many unnecessary hangers you send out in a day, when you could easily reuse them! \ud83d\ude21#GlobalWarming<\/a> #plasticfree<\/a> #marksandsparks<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/GYKvTZDDWD<\/a><\/p>\n
