Starting in December, single-use items such as plastic shopping bags, disposable food service accessories, oxo-degradable plastics and food service packaging made of polystyrene foam, PVC, PVDC, compostable or biodegradable plastics will no longer be allowed to be sold in B.C.

This is needed both in the short and long term. I'll be curious to see what solutions pop up to replace what we've become used to.

Non-recyclable paper products that are still actually lined with plastic.

Meanwhile the vast majority of items on grocery shelves still come in plastic packaging.
