America
The United States, on January 1, New York City's " Foam Products Act" came into effect. After a six-month transition period, after July 1's formal implementation, restaurants in New York City will no longer be able to use disposable foam boxes. Offenders will be subject to high fines. It is worth nothing that the use of foam plastics in meat storage, delivery and express packaging and other industries is temporarily unaffected.
Costa Rica on July 15, Carlos Alvarado, President of the Republic of Costa Rica, Carlos Manuel Rodriguez, Minister of Environment and Energy, and Daniel Salas, Minister of Health, jointly signed the "Integrated Waste Management" at the National Cultural Center. The executive order of the law amendment announced that the use of polyethylene foam was banned nationwide. On October 31, the bill regulating the use of plastic products in the market passed the second round of discussions in the legislative assembly of Colombia. After the president signed, plastic straws will be banned in Costa Rica, and retail establishments will not be able to provide consumers with plastic bags. Canada on November 27, the Vancouver City Council voted to ban plastic straws from April 2020 and ban plastic bags from New Year's Day in 2021.
Australia
On July 1, the New Zealand plastic ban was officially implemented . Various retail establishments are prohibited from using and providing disposable plastic bags to customers. Violators may face fines of NZ$10 000 in serious cases.
With the intensification of plastic pollution, more and more countries are aware of the importance of "plastic ban", and countries may start "plastic ban" legislation or continue to expand the scope of the ban. In the "plastic ban" action in full swing, the "plastic ban" regulations in 2019 are only an episode, and 2020 may become a year when many plastic bans are in place.
