Spain Readies Big Reduction in Single-Use Plastics From Mid-2021
Spain is preparing to significantly reduce the distribution and sale of single-use plastic cutlery, straws, cups and products containing microplastics as part of the government's drive to promote recycling and reduce waste. From a report: The government wants to ban the sale of single-use plastics from July 3, 2021, and to ban the free distribution of these items from the start of 2023, according to a bill distributed to journalists. It's due to approve the legislation at its weekly cabinet meeting on Tuesday before taking it to congress for full debate. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has already made protection of the environment a centerpiece of government's strategy after setting a goal for Spain to be carbon neutral by 2050.
