In 2016, France became the first country to ban the sale of plastic disposable products that contain less than 50% of biodegradable material and in 2017, India passed a law banning all plastic disposable plastic products.
Yes, only if the government takes full responsibility of climate change and make all major actions necessary at a large scale , then proving it to people and after that is done then they can ban
No, but disposable products containing less than 50% of biodegradable material should be heavily taxed
@9DXFZ848mos8MO
Yes but some disabled people rely on them so in that cause there should be plastic straws allowed for them.
@8ZP8PFFSocial Democrats2yrs2Y
No, but charge companies for the landfill cost and provide tax incentives for better alternatives.
@8ZH8YNQ2yrs2Y
not necessarily ban as many people are not able to purchase the more environmentally options. perhaps increasing the price of the harmful material and reducing the price of the more biodegradable product would not only encourage wealthier people to purchase the friendly option, but would also ensure that everyone has access to them.

No, most people don't have access to composting and there is poor public awareness of how to recycle in addition to poor public provision of recycling bins. Fix this first instead of pointless virtue signaling. Long commutes, low wages and crowded housing makes domestic meal preparation challenging. Address this before penalising people for needing to eat food out of home.
@8XBP6QS2yrs2Y
it depends on how much the plastic bottle or cup is (weight)
Increase the VAT rate on these items and increase consumer incentives to recycle these products
@8TZ3PTG3yrs3Y
No, wait until we have predominantly biodegradable products.
Yes, and this country is a joke when it comes to these regulations. For such a small country to not be able to meet their quotas is a disgrace
There needs to be a special consideration for those with disabilities
@8SQMNL83yrs3Y
Yes, and the government should Introduce German style deposit system on all plastic and glass bottles. This is where you can return them to shops and other Recycling centres and get a small refund on what you return
@8RLNWTK3yrs3Y
No but I think companies should be encouraged to use biogegradable products more than disposable.
@8PTRVRVSocial Democrats3yrs3Y
No, all single-use disposable products should only be used in a medical setting.
@8PS9KCD3yrs3Y
no, that is ableist, also it individualises the actual problem of climate change
@8NYNH6G3yrs3Y
Phase them out - not a complete ban without support for businesses
@8NLRRNT3yrs3Y
Straws are needed for people with disabilities, so I do not fully agree.
@8FRY29Y4yrs4Y
Slowly over time they should be cut down until there is none left tax the producers producing it
@8CWJDNT4yrs4Y
All plastic should be band and Plastic should be Made out of hemp instead
Yes, and increase incentive of reusable products
@94KWSKN2yrs2Y
If they contribute to climate change they should be banned
@93Z7M622yrs2Y
Yes but gradually over time instead of suddenly
@92T6CVD2yrs2Y
Yes, once governing bodies can provide alternative, easily accessible and affordable environmentally friendly choices
@8ZRNKGY2yrs2Y
ban disposable products that contain less than 25%
@8Z9WP6K2yrs2Y
Dont ban them completely as environmentally friendly products can be expensive but make more biodegradable products
