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.
@9D3TD65Solidarity9mos9MO
Yes HOWEVER I think it is better for it to be banned slowly and transition slowly as well as provide a cheaper option to replace plastic or perhaps one of the same price.
@8VQM6T73yrs3Y
There should be incentives for both producers and consumers to switch to biodegradable products.
@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

Further regulaions if disposable products are not at 50% biodegradable, and increase tax incentives for companies that makes products at 85% and up biodegradable.

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.

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.
