Wale authorities have come to this resolve as a way to reduce the flow of plastic pollution that will aid in ending plastic pollution and further to stop the supply of plastic products. As listed in article by The Guardian the following single-use plastics are now prohibited from sale: - Single-use plastic cutlery. -Single-use plastic drinks stirrers. -Cups made of expanded or foamed extruded polystyrene. - Takeaway food containers made of expanded or foamed extruded polystyrene. - Single-use plastic balloon sticks. -Single-use plastic-stemmed cotton buds. - Single-use plastic drinking straws.

This is a positive step towards reducing plastic waste and protecting the environment. This move will encourage people to find more sustainable alternatives and hopefully inspire other regions to follow suit. It is important for governments to implement such measures to help create a greener future for all.
