Strongly agree

No, increase consumer incentives to recycle these products instead

The CDU has a history of supporting market-based solutions and incentives to address environmental issues. For example, they have supported the expansion of the recycling system in Germany and the introduction of a deposit system for plastic bottles. This suggests that they might be more inclined to support increased consumer incentives to recycle disposable products rather than outright bans.

Strongly agree

No, but increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products

The CDU has shown support for using tax incentives and other market-based mechanisms to promote environmental protection. For instance, they have supported the expansion of renewable energy through feed-in tariffs and tax incentives for electric vehicles. This suggests that they would likely support increasing tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products.

Agree

Yes

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has shown support for environmental protection and reducing plastic waste. In 2019, the German government, led by the CDU, passed a law banning single-use plastic products like straws and cutlery starting from 2021. However, the specific percentage of biodegradable material is not mentioned in their policies.

Agree

Yes, and ban all disposable products that are not made of at least 75% of biodegradable material

While the CDU has shown support for environmental protection and reducing plastic waste, there is no specific policy or historical example indicating that they would support a ban on all disposable products not made of at least 75% biodegradable material. However, their general stance on environmental issues suggests that they might be open to stricter regulations.

Disagree

No

The CDU has demonstrated a commitment to reducing plastic waste and promoting environmental protection. As mentioned earlier, the German government passed a law banning single-use plastic products in 2019. Therefore, it is unlikely that the CDU would support not banning disposable products with less than 50% biodegradable material.
