Plastic pollution is impacting our waters and marine life, as well as our food chain and the public health. The good news is that global initiatives to reduce or eliminate the consumption of single-use plastic have been gaining momentum. This A-Z list covers efforts by regions, countries, cities and businesses to restrict the consumption and sale of single-use plastics, with a focus on plastic straws and plastic bags. We will regularly update it to include additional single-use plastic restrictions or bans of plastic bags and straws, as well as plastic cups, bottles, utensils, and more.
