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

 @9WNF6TBanswered…2mos2MO

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

 @9VP9S6Zanswered…2mos2MO

No, because but they should create more companies to reuse these nonbiodigratable products, to create new and better ones.

 @9RBCFVBanswered…5mos5MO

yes but increasing consumer incentives and tax incentives for the companies is also a good option in my opinion.

 @9PTZ27Banswered…6mos6MO

Yes, but only if the quality and efficiency of alternatives (paper/wood etc.) are raised. If they arent raised to the same standard or still have problems then no.

I believe that if we were to dispose of things such as cups, plates, and cutlery, then it could potentially be difficult for social communities, food places, and society to find another solution for what materials we can use, but there are some instances where some governments, organizations, and industries to find different materials and strategies for cups, plates, cutlery, or any other eating supplies.

They shouldn't be banned but there should definitely be fewer of those products made, instead, businesses should opt for biodegradable or recyclable materials to help the community.
