plastic waste policies

Plastic waste policies are regulations and initiatives designed to reduce plastic pollution and promote better waste management. These policies can include bans or restrictions on single-use plastics, requirements for recycling and waste separation, incentives for using biodegradable materials, and measures to improve recycling infrastructure. The goal is to minimize plastic production and consumption, encourage recycling and responsible disposal, and protect the environment and public health. By implementing these policies, governments aim to address the growing issue of plastic waste in oceans, landfills, and ecosystems, ultimately fostering a more sustainable future.
