Mexico’s Green Party proposes law banning single-use plastics in the country

The Green Party in the Chamber of Deputies of Mexico's Senate proposed a bill to prohibit single-use plastics in Mexico.

10 thousand tons of this material are discarded daily and a large percentage ends up in open dumps, rivers, and seas, according to the ecologist deputy, Marco Gómez Alcantar,. He indicated that a regulation of plastics is required to guarantee a change of consumption habits, and replace their use with other packaging more friendly to the environment.

The useful life of a plastic bag or straw does not exceed 20 minutes and the Unicel, is not biodegradable . . .
