Products should be fully bio degradable
@8F8ZG8N4yrs4Y
Yes - and make bio degradable disposable products cheap to buy
@9TGL5W92mos2MO
They should, if it's actually logical, don't get of resources and ruin the world (we need cups etc, don't get rid of them all for a potentially flawed clause).
@9G4GHZR1yr1Y
Yes but decease the prices of biodegradable materials and make them more affordable for companies and consumers to use rather than the non biodegradable materials
@9G4GBSG1yr1Y
Bio degradable win put into a plastic bag that is put into the landfill is still not biodegradable so just stop making it to start with and make it out of full natural resources that can be thrown out into the environment
@9G34NGT1yr1Y
i dont think they should be banned but i think they should be used less and not selled as much here in NZ
@9FCVQL51yr1Y
This should be home compostable, biodegradable is not sufficient
