Single Use Plastic Completely Banned From July 1

The government is going to take a big step to ban single-use plastic. From the coming July 1, the government is going to completely ban the use of single-use plastic in the country. It has been said by the government to completely ban the products made from single use plastic across the country. There will be a complete ban on manufacturing, selling, storing, stuffing, and exporting these products after June 30.

Talking about single-use plastics, these are those forms of plastic that we use only once and throw them away. The things that the government is going to ban include about 19 types of products, including plastic used in food packaging, straws used with soft drinks, plastic sticks in balloons, sticks with candy, cup-plates made of thermocol, plastic glasses, and plastics used for the packaging of milk and shampoo, as well as all plastic items less than ten microns.

It is worth noting that at present single-use plastic is being used on a large scale in the packaging industry in the country. Meanwhile, many companies have started importing paper straws instead of plastic straws so that they can provide paper straws with their products to the customers, although the companies are finding it much more expensive than single-use plastic. Industry experts believe that paper straws are up to four times more expensive than plastic straws.
