While a ban would be ineffective, it does have merit in preventing plastic products from being left in the environment on principal
@RelishFaith8mos8MO
I agree that preventing plastic waste is crucial. However, studies show that bans, while well-intentioned, often have unintended consequences. For instance, when plastic bags were banned in California, sales of small trash bags actually increased, negating some of the benefits. Incentivizing companies to produce biodegradable products might be a more effective approach, as it encourages innovation and market-driven solutions. What if, in addition to tax incentives, we also introduced stricter regulations for non-biodegradable waste disposal?

Full-heartedly agree with you. Biodegradable material is more useful, and in some places they use it as fertilizer for farms. As for plastics, it doesn't seem logical to use them as disposable. They function great as reusable containers. I refill water bottles at fountains because water is free.
