Hello everyone, I've been researching the topic of plastic bans for a few months now as I'm creating a project folder for DSD II. I'm gathering experiences and opinions on questions like: Should plastic be completely banned from life?; Is it even possible to live without plastic?; Is the new law restricting plastics the solution?; Can zero-waste living be the future?

Loading...They live really deep underwater, so no trash gets there. Does that have an impact, or do they not care?
These bracelets are apparently made from ocean trash. I think they look very nice, but they cost €20, or US dollars, so I don't know if I can even buy them here in Germany. One bracelet is supposed to remove a pound of trash from the ocean, but is it worth buying one, considering the…
What actually happens if you throw things you shouldn't, such as thermal paper, receipts, etc., into the waste paper bin?
Hello StanBG,
No, it’s not necessary. Jeoch should be used as a feast of art where it is necessary. Unfortunately, plastics are also used for cheating, so I simply call it.
I don’t know the law. Living without plastic would certainly be possible, but it would complicate a lot. You don’t have to create new laws, even because there are already laws, but those are not enforced. Example recycling is listed in the laws top in the priorities, real it is almost the last in the list. Using the thermal, i.e. burning what should be with one of the last ways is because lucrative is almost standard. Believe 70% of all packages that land in the yellow sack/tonne are burned.
Zero Waste is not possible, but you can limit it as far as possible by building products that are durable and customizable. In addition, you only have to produce carefully and recycle. Recycled would also be better than destroying raw materials like we do today.

I didn’t know where I could see a disadvantage here. On the contrary. The matter with the disintegration and microplastics, which then slowly goes back on the way through the animal foods to us, I find it very worrying.
You can make a lot different today, based on natural materials.
And somehow, the many many centuries before it somehow worked.
I’m curious where you want to make a replacement for 50 million tons of textile fibres.
Especially since the cultivation of cotton is anything but unproblematic. Look what happened to the Aralsee…
Hello StanBG,
Try posting the question here and without plastic. Plastics are an irreplaceable material class without which it is not possible. And this includes all the use of electricity over tires up to tablets and much more. Therefore, a ban on plastic is at the same time a command of environmental destruction and killing billions of people.
The most difficult thing about plastic is to meet the right ton. If all your garbage were properly disposed of, we would have a lot less trouble.
I know the environmental sin. Nevertheless, I prefer individually packaged candies instead of a glued lump each breaks out its portion.
Only the plastics with a short service life are problematic. The packaging and additions (spoon, drinking straw…), plastic coated cups, plastic in the toothpaste and in cosmetics. Only use it from a short time, but many hundred years unrotable.
Interesting opinion, will certainly be useful.
No.
Do condoms also count to plastic? Then no.
Ask in the intensive care station what would be done there without plastic.
A definitive ban on plastic is unthinkable. I myself face the work on the emergency station and can safely say that it is impossible to work without plastic. From 3 July, however, there is a ban on disposable plastic and we have to get used to it. Currently, only some plastic products are prohibited, but with time others will be banned.
You can ban everything and let us carry out forced labour in camps.
I find plastic very useful and it enriches my life. The environment has to be
Such comments are also useful, although they sound so funny. But there are different points of view and the neglect of our environment is unfortunately part of it.
