France Bands Plastic Cups and Plates
By Madeline Cedillo
France has declared that starting 2020, the Plastic Cups and Plates will be banded.They want to be the role model for the rest of the of the countries.This new French law will require " all disposable tableware to be made from 50% biologically-sourced materials that can be composted at home by January of 2020. That number will rise to 60% by January of 2025."
This is also a law that falls under the " Enery Transition for Green Growth Act" that is important there. 4.73 billion cups are thrown away each year of which only 1% gets recycled.This movment will help a lot for the generations to come and have a better place to live.
I think that this is a great movement for the conservation of the earth for future generations to come and will help keep the outsides nice and safe.
