Yes, and methods to reduce percentages of biodegradable materials in a products must be made to expand this rule further.
@B2DQ5HF3mos3MO
Yes, but I rather bring my own fork or spoon to restaurants that use these new cardboard kind of products. It irritates my skin.
@9VH69L77mos7MO
banned one use plasics with less then 50% of biodegradeble plasics that are could be used for a lobg period of time should not be band unless it causes serious harm.
@9NSB2VW10mos10MO
No, but increase tax incentives for those that make biodegradable products and businesses that use biodegradable products
@9GNB6WC1yr1Y
no we should not because most people cannot live without them. what we need to do is make recycling them easier because eve now a bunch of the stuff that is recycled just gets thrown into the garbage.,
Life cycle assessment should be conducted based on every product category to ensure fact based decision making
@9ZWH3RB5mos5MO
No, but increase the research and development of new products that could compete and replace the existing products with the same quality
@9QTFFNS9mos9MO
Banning through criterias for companies without impact on individuals. Some need plastic products and the banning of products impacts them.
@96FNXMY3yrs3Y
It could be good or it could be bad, so it's. Difficult question.
@959PN883yrs3Y
This is not a problem that should be banned it is a problem in society not obeying the rules of recycling
Let the free market decide the outcome.
@93Y5P7X3yrs3Y
Yes, but provide support for small businesses that cannot afford to make the change.
@93DFCHK3yrs3Y
Not banned, decrease the amount of usage
@8Z4H6T53yrs3Y
They shouldn’t be named but restricted
@8XXH7N73yrs3Y
We need to work towards creating less waist all together. The product we buy these days are designed not to last. They are throw away products. We need to reduce that and also promote products that can be reused, recycled biodegrade
@8XKT3BG3yrs3Y
No, instead increase tax incentives for companies that use of Algae plastic
@8W6Q9G94yrs4Y
Still somewhere at it, but I do think all the plastic cups, plates, and cutlery should be ban but somehow in my mind said no lol.
@8W35PY34yrs4Y
Ban plastic cups plates and cutlery
@8VP922X4yrs4Y
No, disposable products are important for disabled people. However, we should make it easier for people to recycle the products.
@8VH9LRVConservative4yrs4Y
The ban cannot occur right away because the population needs the time to transition from one to another. The ban should occur one the population switches and more than 75% of people use non-polluting options
@8VH2TZWConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but it should slowly be phased out over a period of time
@8VCVLKJ4yrs4Y
Depending on the item due to most plastic non reusable items are used by diabled people
@8VBVSLM4yrs4Y
No, improve the recycling system
@8TZPJVDNew Democratic4yrs4Y
This is not that big of an issue I don't actually care
@8TY225L4yrs4Y
Only if they are not recyclable.
@8TN4GLW4yrs4Y
No, the government has no right to tell a company what type of products they can and can’t produce as long as they’re not harmful to consumers.
@8TGBLJS4yrs4Y
We should be allowed to burn our garbage to reduce waste.
@8T94R3L4yrs4Y
No, but increase incentives to switch to biodegradable products
@8QRSYL34yrs4Y
They should slowly be removed
@8PRN58W4yrs4Y
Any single-use plastic products, and products that pose a threat to our ecosystems should be banned.
@8JPQ32W4yrs4Y
No, but increase cost of nonbiodegradable material so it is more cost efficient to buy biodegradable.
@8CDXKM85yrs5Y
I think that companies should start making all packaging for products either reusable or environmental friendly.
@8VGBWYP4yrs4Y
Yes, but replace them with other type of things, that make the same functions
@8V9M4764yrs4Y
No but should be reduced
@8GFKQX75yrs5Y
Yes, While it is unrealistic to do this overnight, I believe it should be a work in progress. Make it a progression.
