Recently, the mayor of Montreal, Canada's second largest city, Valérie Plante announced a plan to ban the use of single-use plastics.
According to this plan, from August 23, 2022, retail stores will no longer allow the use of disposable plastic shopping bags. In March 2023, several other plastic products used in retail and restaurants will also be a thing of the past.
This means that, for example, plates, containers and trays made of polystyrene will be banned, as will plastic cups, utensils, straws and stirring rods.
