Should disposable products (such as plastic cups, plates, and cutlery) that contain less than 50% of biodegradable material be banned?

i think they should be reduced but not banned completely

Yes, however they should still be available as accessibility tools.

Yes but not for disabled people who need that

Should be up to the buisness

make biodegradable options more affordable than the plastic ones

Because there are reservations in Canada that rely on plastic and such for their needs. The government should fix the water issues in most reserves before they ban plastics.

Consumer-end bans make zero sense, manufacturing is where bans need to happen, and corporations must be responsible for whatever they make throughout the life of that product. If something they made ends up in the ocean, that is THEIR responsibility.

Yes, but materials should be 100% biodegradable/compostable and ensure people with disabilities who require these products for daily use have proper alternatives or access to what they need.

Maybe, because sometimes that’s all people can afford

Only keep plastic straws as they are important for people with disabilities.

They should limit the use of fishing nets which are a much more significant contributing factor

No, but incentivise the use of biodegradable products

Yes, but rather than regulating consumer products, regulate corporation production of harmful materials and provide incentives for biodegradable material use as well as heavily regulate the fishing industry which accounts for about 80% of ocean pollution

yes, but make these products accessible so that everyone can use them, including disabled people or people with lower income

The major problem with disposable waste cone from large companies rather than individual consumers using disposable utensils that may help them with their disability.

yes, while bearing in mind that disabled people do need access to a lot of disposable utensils and such, and therefore must be cheap enough that all food and drink services can provide.

It should be encouraged to be reduced as much as possible, but not banned.

It depends how your using it. But I don't think it should be banned because it could still be a good material is some causes.

no cause certain disabled people need them, but do everything you can to help save the planet

Have you ever seen the movie WALL-E? Just do anything to prevent the earth from looking like that.

No, but they should switch to other resources or work on making food-safe plastics that can still biodegrade. These plastics shouldn't be banned for now but must decrease largely in need until only biodegradable plastics exist. Banning them all at once may hurt businesses and even be impossible, but biodegradable plastics should be marketed more.

Some people do require these single use plastics, however the majority of them should be removed

yes, except for products that aid people with disabilities (ie plastic straws) but they should be disposed of properly

No, but increase cost of nonbiodegradable material so it is more cost efficient to buy biodegradable.

There are many who require plastic alternatives at times due to disability

It would be very hard to do so, yet it is a good idea resulting in a better environment.

if by biodegradable you mean by industrial composting then no as if it get into the environment it would act the same as petrol plastics

Yes, but allow leniency for those who has disabilities that require the use of disposable materials

Yes and ban all disposable products that aren't 100% biodegradable.

No, instead encourage individuals to reduce overall consumption

it should be reduced
