Plastic is a material that has made everyone's lives easier, however the drastic increase in its production has fatal consequences. The reason is simple: plastic takes hundreds of years to degrade and the current accumulation has reached the oceans of the entire planet. Faced with this situation, companies and governments have recognized that it is necessary to begin reducing plastic for the distribution of products. The proposal is on the table, but achieving it is a complicated challenge: replacing the material with a recycled or dual-use one could be more expensive, in addition to the fact that plastic consumption continues excessively, which pushes away the objective. . In different countries, the decision has already been made to outright ban plastic, especially single-use bags, and Mexico is no exception. The government of our country has enacted a ban on the production and marketing of plastic bags in Mexico City.
This includes the distribution of single-use plastics, such as bags, cutlery, disposable cups and plates, coffee capsules, among others. The measure prohibits “the marketing, distribution and delivery of disposable plastic bags,” according to the Environment Secretariat of the Mexican capital. “ A disposable plastic bag will not be allowed to be marketed, distributed or given to the consumer, whether it is a sales site such as a stationery store, shoe store or department store; That is why the main watchdog will be the consumer, who will see that they are not Nepal WhatsApp Number List delivered and, above all, that they will not accept this type of bags ," said the General Director of Impact Assessment and Environmental Regulation of the Ministry of the Environment in a statement ( Sedema), Andrée Lilian Guigue Pérez. We start 2⃣0⃣2⃣0⃣with positive actions to open a sustainable future for our Mexico City, without disposable plastic bags? Secretariat of the Environmenttons of garbage are generated daily, of which 8,600 tons are sent to landfills and only 1,900 are recycled. The measure is capable of helping to reduce the plastic generated in CDMX, however, the decision completely affects the people who are dedicated to the production, distribution and marketing of plastic. Among the most affected are the manufacturers and business owners who sell this product, since it prevents them from having an income for the daily work they used to do, this has led 50 companies to promote protections.
Companies protect themselves against the ban on plastic bags Plastic marketing firms seek to not approve the modification of the Regulation of the Solid Waste Law of the CDMX that also prohibits the use of single-use bags to give them to their clients. For his part, José del Cueto, president of the bag manufacturers section of the National Association of Plastic Industries (ANIPAC), says that the protection has been requested individually and it is not contemplated that there will be resources promoted by his group or by the Plastic Bag Manufacturers of Mexico (Inboplast). “There are several companies that have been protected, at least about 50, we don't know if there are more. There will be no collective recourse, it is better for the industries to be individual, we do not believe there will be a collective protection ,” he indicated. We hope to reach a negotiating point where the secretariat allows companies to carry bags that meet certain requirements, are permitted to contain recycled material and can be reused. Responsible? The proposal is that plastic manufacturing industries implement measures to use recycled plastic and that in a period of less than one year use post-consumer material to produce bags with up to 30% reused material.
