🚩德國2021年禁止一次性塑膠製品
去年整年都有很多不同國家的禁膠喜訊
在武漢肺炎的影響下今年各國都很忙吧QQ
所以突然有德國的消息覺得好開心呢
2021年7月3日德國會禁的即棄塑膠製品有:
膠吸管、膠軸棉花棒、食品容器、即棄餐具、
盤子、攪拌棒、氣球支架、發泡膠杯和盒。
德國環境部長Svenja說:
「許多即棄塑膠製品都是多餘的!」
香港那個可能也有說什麼但沒什麼行動
香港二十年後也不一定會有這樣的政策
德國厲害
環保L表示好開心
這才是:源頭減廢
//The German Cabinet agreed on Wednesday to end the sale of single-use plastic straws, cotton buds and food containers from July next year, bringing it in line with a European Union directive intended to reduce the amount of plastic waste.
The move means the sale of single-use cutlery, plates, stirring sticks and balloon holders, as well as polystyrene cups and boxes, will be banned from July 3, 2021.

Environment Minister Svenja Schulze said the decision was part of an effort to move away from a "throw-away culture." Indeed, up to 20% of trash collected in parks and other public spaces in Germany consists of single-use plastic, primarily polystyrene containers.
"Many single-use plastic products are superfluous and non-sustainable use of resources," Schulze said.//
Germany amassed a record 18.7 million tons of packaging waste in 2017, according to data published by the Federal Environmental Agency (UBA).
Plastic takes decades to degrade and microscopic particles have been found inside fish, birds, and other animals.//

Last year, Singapore’s food waste amounted to more than 800,000 tonnes – a staggering amount. National Environment Agency (NEA) tells me food waste makes up half of household waste. And more than half of this wastage is avoidable – roughly equivalent to households throwing away one 2.5kg bag of rice, every week!
This is why I’m glad to see people stepping up not just to cut waste, but to make it easier for Singaporeans to take part. SG Food Rescue collects surplus vegetables from wholesalers to redistribute to those who need them. Unpackt is a packaging-free grocery store that encourages customers to bring their own containers, to avoid plastic waste.
Becoming eco-conscious can start from a simple change of habits. There’s no better time to start than now: 2018 is our Year of Climate Action. Becoming a zero-waste nation will help us become a #sustainable Singapore. Each of us must do what we can to reduce waste. – LHL
