Should disposable products (such as plastic cups, plates, and cutlery) that contain less than 50% of biodegradable material be banned?

No, due to disabled people having a real need to use these items. But we should have more incetives on using greener materials and more transparency on what 'biodegradable' materials really are

Yes, however they should still be available as accessibility tools.

Yes, but Only straws can stay

Ban plastics like for non essential items, keep for medical and food industry etc

I think it is good to get rid of plastic but some people need it for their everyday life

Because there are reservations in Canada that rely on plastic and such for their needs. The government should fix the water issues in most reserves before they ban plastics.

Consumer-end bans make zero sense, manufacturing is where bans need to happen, and corporations must be responsible for whatever they make throughout the life of that product. If something they made ends up in the ocean, that is THEIR responsibility.

Yes, but materials should be 100% biodegradable/compostable and ensure people with disabilities who require these products for daily use have proper alternatives or access to what they need.

Maybe, because sometimes that’s all people can afford

Only keep plastic straws as they are important for people with disabilities.

They should ban a few items at a time over a period of time instead of banning all non-biodegradable material at once

Banned for everyone besides people living with a disability because they need disposable products

I think it is okay to have plastic you can recycle plastic

Yes, but make exceptions for people who rely on things like plastic straws (disabled people) or find new materials that will work for them

Yes, however have products available that still can aid people with disabilities that may need to use plastic straws, but might have allergies that prevent them from using reusable straws

Yes, but rather than regulating consumer products, regulate corporation production of harmful materials and provide incentives for biodegradable material use as well as heavily regulate the fishing industry which accounts for about 80% of ocean pollution

yes, but make these products accessible so that everyone can use them, including disabled people or people with lower income

The major problem with disposable waste cone from large companies rather than individual consumers using disposable utensils that may help them with their disability.

yes, while bearing in mind that disabled people do need access to a lot of disposable utensils and such, and therefore must be cheap enough that all food and drink services can provide.

no cause certain disabled people need them, but do everything you can to help save the planet

Have you ever seen the movie WALL-E? Just do anything to prevent the earth from looking like that.

No, but they should switch to other resources or work on making food-safe plastics that can still biodegrade. These plastics shouldn't be banned for now but must decrease largely in need until only biodegradable plastics exist. Banning them all at once may hurt businesses and even be impossible, but biodegradable plastics should be marketed more.

Some people do require these single use plastics, however the majority of them should be removed

Ban disposable plastic products that are not made from/are recyclable.

yes, except for products that aid people with disabilities (ie plastic straws) but they should be disposed of properly

No, but increase cost of nonbiodegradable material so it is more cost efficient to buy biodegradable.

Ban all disposable products that are not %100 biodegradable

There are many who require plastic alternatives at times due to disability

No, companies produce far more waste than disposable consumer products do.

if by biodegradable you mean by industrial composting then no as if it get into the environment it would act the same as petrol plastics

Yes, but allow leniency for those who has disabilities that require the use of disposable materials

No because indigenous populations rely on bottled water and other single use plastics

Further regulaions if disposable products are not at 50% biodegradable, and increase tax incentives for companies that makes products at 85% and up biodegradable.
