Since a viral video about a diver rescuing a turtle from the threat of a plastic straw, the world has seen a change where the use of the tool is banned at various levels to help reduce the issue of global plastic pollution.
Canada is seen as one of the few countries that is increasingly serious in its efforts to ban the use of single use plastics (single use plastics) where the country's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau announced the ban on the use of plastics starting later this year.
Canada not only bans the use of this one -time use plastic, but also its manufacture as well as its importation, including plastic bags, food utensils, straws, beverage stirrer, beverage can and bottle holders and so on.
Not only that, the government will ban the sale of disposable plastic products in 2023, and by 2025, companies in Canada will not be allowed to export such products out of the country.
Even so, the Canadian government has not banned the use of all plastic products, with PET bottles, fishing rods, nets and so on still allowed to be traded without problems, which many environmental experts say is still a relatively serious issue for the environment and life. -wildlife.
