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.
@9GYBJMLParty of Reason5mos5MO
No, because it what most likely increase tax paying dollars and the people should have a say where there taxes go
Not banned but highly taxed
@9CDWZ2811mos11MO
yes if we have better options
Yes, but only products, that have a biodegradable alternative
yes, except for people who need them e.g. disabled people needing plastic straws cause the alternatives aren't good
I support the reduction of plastic etc but it is important for people with disabilities who need certain straws etc to still have access to them.
No, but littering should be punished and disposal needs to be done more thouroughly and concienciously by everybody.
@8LSW2WV3yrs3Y
No, global warming is not real
@99GFJKJ1yr1Y
Generally yes, exceptions made for medical supplies and plastic materials as accessibility requirements
Yes, and move to phase out disposable products
Yes, and ban all disposable products that are not made of at least 75% of biodegradable material. As well increase consumer incentives to recycle products containing less than 50% of biodegradable material.
@998Y38M1yr1Y
Yes, but it should be 25% instead of 50%
@988SRTJ1yr1Y
Reduce production of non-degradable products and increase tax for them
No, but they should contain more biodegradable materials.
It is not possible for all humans to use non recyclable products, so people with disabilities to better using bendable plastic straws for example. This should be taken into consideration, while still lowering the amount produced.
No, but producers should be forced to take care about the waste properly.
As single use plastic in sanitary wrappings is helpful and life saving for some disabled people, we should provide options.
@92732DW2yrs2Y
No, taxed out of existence
Yes, but keep plastic straws
@8VL52JJ3yrs3Y
This is a false leading question for those persons who understand that many or most products that are "Biodegradable" are breaking down in to daughter products that are just as bad for the environment if not worse. They, like cellulose microplastics are only less visible. The overall mass of disposable products needs to be drastically reduced (>50%) regardless of degradability. Needless disposability for convenience sake needs to be banned.
@8VD74G43yrs3Y
Yes but keep them available for disabled people who need them
@8VD3BV93yrs3Y
No, it would not biodegrade if it is not 100% biodegradable
No, because a lot of disabled people need them and big companies do the modt damage to our planet.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, increase both consumer incentives to recycle these products and tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, increase both consumer incentives to recycle these products and tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products instead
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, but increase consumer incentives to recycle these products as well as increasing tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products
@clementismyname2yrs2Y
No but they should be taxed at a higher rate.
@victoriallockwood2yrs2Y
No, disposable use items are necessary for many disabled people to meet their needs
@93MYGJV2yrs2Y
Further regulaions if disposable products are not at 50% biodegradable, and increase tax incentives for companies that makes products at 85% and up biodegradable.
@93MK5NX2yrs2Y
we should try and phase non recyclable things out
@924MYCK2yrs2Y
Yes, and increase incentives that encourage consumers to reuse and recycle old products and use sustainable options.
@938PWY62yrs2Y
No tax breaks. Establish progressive VATs on virgin material when biodegradeable materials are available.
@9375CJZ2yrs2Y
no, but give more supplies to make more biodegradable materials
@934FYBV2yrs2Y
No because there are people who can't afford spending money on goods with biodegradable material however, people who CAN should be pushed to use more enviromentally friendly products.
@932V85R2yrs2Y
Yes, but provide a better alternative than the paper stuff.
@92XJ99W2yrs2Y
Not until more environmentally friendly products with more efficient means of production are commonplace.
@92X5HLD2yrs2Y
No, and the government should not regulate what can be sold or bought
@8ZSR5NL2yrs2Y
Yes, and we should also increase incentives that made it easier for consumers to reuse and recycle old products and use sustainable options.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but target personal and household spending and should be the result of better enforced regulations. Also, we should incentivize consumers to make it easier for them to reuse and recycle old products and use sustainable options.
@8T9KVZK2yrs2Y
No, but phase them out gradually
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but target personal and household spending and should be the result of better enforced regulations. Also, we should incentivize consumers to make it easier for them to reuse and recycle old products and use sustainable options, so more people can recycle more often.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but target personal and household spending and make sure that these regulations are enforced properly. Otherwise, we should incentivize consumers to make it easier for them to reuse and recycle old products so that people can recycle more often, and increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but target personal and household spending and make sure that these regulations are enforced properly and efficiently. Otherwise, we should incentivize consumers to make it easier for them to reuse and recycle old products so that people can recycle more often, and increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products.
@8ZGYJSG2yrs2Y
depending on the circumstance it would depend on how many people use biodegradable material and what materials are used in it and how much will it cost .
@8ZD5RXC2yrs2Y
No, but create more acceptable choices.
@8YRGX822yrs2Y
Yes, ban all disposable products that are not made of at least 75% of biodegradable material.
@6HM8ZBP2yrs2Y
Yes, but with gradual implementation
@6SP6V522yrs2Y
No, increase tax on disposable products and containers and incentivize consumers to return containers to producers for reuse
@8Y9795B2yrs2Y
No, but require more regulations.
