Its not so much an Amazon UK policy as it is UK legislation.
Better to search for Single-use plastics bans and restrictions on the gov uk website to get the full details.

Single use plastic law came in Oct 2023
see gov.uk
Summary A small bundle of white single use plastic cutlery on a blue background.
From 1 October 2023, banned single-use items are straws, stirrers, cotton buds, plates, bowls, trays, containers, cutlery and balloon sticks.
Single-use is defined as an item that ‘is meant to be used only once for its original purpose.’
All single-use plastics are covered by the ban, including biodegradable, compostable and recycled.
The ban applies whether the item is wholly or partially made from plastic, such as having a plastic lining.
The ban on sales includes online and over the counter sales of new and existing stock
