I choose both "No, increase consumer incentives to recycle these products instead" and "No, but increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products".
@9L4XH8H8mos8MO
Only certain disposable plastic products should be banned, the rest should be restricted and used solely medically, scientifically and for the disabled population
@94SYSB82yrs2Y
They should not be banned but in the first 5 years they should have a tax then on the fifth year they should be banned or have even higher taxes.
@94DXPVZ2yrs2Y
No, because eg plastic straws are necessary for people with cerebral palsy
@93XMW9T2yrs2Y
We should heavily regulate the companies producing these products.
@93H5NQY2yrs2Y
All of them banned. High consumption brings high logistics speed.
@8WWY8XK3yrs3Y
It depends how much this might help society.
@8S2RFYZ4yrs4Y
Disposal products are important for the disabled and people who menstruate (particularly those who can't use diva cups, who bleed heavily, etc). It is best if we can move on to versions that are completely biodegradable but at the moment they are necessary.
