Disposable plastic product is a double-edged sword, which is very convenient to use, but its impact on the environment is increasingly concerned France has recently passed legislation banning plastic cups, plates and tableware, ensuring that all disposable tableware can be composted since 2020, and the materials prepared are from biological based materials (it can be understood that non biological biodegradable plastics are also prohibited) The purpose of legislation is to save energy and reduce emissions in the plastic processing industry and reduce the adverse impact of plastic waste on the environment, which is part of France's energy transformation for green growth Although the plan is widely supported, opponents believe that it violates the EU's regulations on free flow of goods Opponents call for EU action, and opponents believe that there is no evidence that bio based materials are more environmentally friendly, and it is easy to mislead the public to think that environmental protection concept materials can be littered Before that, many countries, including some states in the United States, wanted to discard plastic bags Did the plastic really need cups? At least France has become the first country to ban disposable plastic cups and tableware.
