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).

#1 Informed Plastic Product Ban
Money should be redirected in education and tax incentives should be granted to businesses and organisations promoting borrowing and reusing items over disposable items.
@B39BNKF1wk1W
Yes but enforce companies to purchase quality biodegradable products rather than chemical treated paper (Bamboo, sugarcane)
@B2JQWS51mo1MO
Yes, but allow medically necessary disposable plastics to remain until there are genuine universal alternatives (e.g. plastic straws)
@B28STLD2mos2MO
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.
@9ZMNRBG4mos4MO
yes, except in cases where products that do not degrade are needed for scientific and medial purposes
@9WNF6TB4mos4MO
Our society has become too disposable of almost everything including people. Very little (including cups, plates & cutlery) should be disposable after single use.
@9VP9S6Z5mos5MO
No, because but they should create more companies to reuse these nonbiodigratable products, to create new and better ones.
