No, but disposable products containing less than 50% of biodegradable material should be heavily taxed
@9ZR48W93 days3D
No, the use of recycled plastic is good, we need to get rid of single use plastic, but consumers need to be properly incentivised on using more sustainable alternatives and we need to strive towards more reusable packaging
@9ZNFLKW7 days7D
Attacking the climate issue from such a flimsy way is stupid, I dont think that plastic cups plates and cutlery are the underlying issue that needs to be tackled
@9ZMFMTB1wk1W
If it is not necessary to have the items that are made from less than 50% biodegradable material than yes they should be banned, if there are alternatives. If the items are deemed necessary and a large number of the population need them then No.

In certain aspects in particular for non able bodied people the banning of plastic straws is demonising them for those who it’s necessary to use them
@9ZKCK6P2wks2W
some people (disabled) cannot use paper straws for instance so we need to be mindful and inclusive - although for the most part I agree with this point
@9ZJQPHD2wks2W
In certain settings such as hospitals single I believe single use is required. Possibly other reasons why people may need it.
@9ZHSDT32wks2W
No, give me back my plastic straws. There’s also shops charging for paper bags now and not just plastic ones, they’re getting greedy
