Yes, except for products that are medically necessary (single-use biohazard equipment, vaccine needle caps, medically sanctioned plastic straws and other tools used by disabled people, etc).

 @B33ZG2Tanswered…18hrs18H

Yes, ban all disposable products are not 100% biodegradable. This will solve the issue of single use plastics, reduce chemical intensive production, and can be thrown into bio-waste plants for energy generation.

 @B33XC5Yanswered…21hrs21H

Yes, but ban them slowly and slowly integrate reusable products so companies and people have time to adapt

They should stop trying to make the environment everyone’s individual issue when it’s the big corporations and government that do 90% of the harm

 @B2JQWS5answered…4wks4W

Yes, but allow medically necessary disposable plastics to remain until there are genuine universal alternatives (e.g. plastic straws)

 @B28STLDanswered…1mo1MO

Yes, but only if the production of these biodegradable materials doesn't cause more damage to the environment to produce. Ie. If there is more non recyclable waste create making these, there is no point in banning them.

 @9ZMNRBGanswered…3mos3MO

yes, except in cases where products that do not degrade are needed for scientific and medial purposes

 @9WNF6TBanswered…4mos4MO

Our society has become too disposable of almost everything including people. Very little (including cups, plates & cutlery) should be disposable after single use.
