Effective ban on single use plastics-putting the law of circular economy into practice

FRANCE BANS PLASTIC PACKAGING FOR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES France will ban plastic packaging for nearly all fruit and vegetables from January 2022 in a bid to reduce plastic waste, the environment ministry said on Monday. Implementing a February 2020 law, the government published a list of about 30 fruits and vegetables that will have to be sold without plastic packaging from Jan. 1. The list includes leeks, aubergines and round tomatoes as well as apples, bananas and oranges. "We use an outrageous amount of single-use plastic in our daily lives. The circular economy law aims at cutting back the use of throwaway plastic and boost its substitution by other materials or reusable and recyclable packaging," the ministry said in a statement.

              France has outlined a breakdown of other products whose packaging in plastics will be banned in the course of time...the ban has justified their talk and so I have the ultimate trust that they'll make the rest of the bans effective as projected.
