plastic ban
No disposable containers
A plastic ban is legislation or policy prohibiting certain plastic products, typically single-use items like bags, straws, or packaging.
The term usually appears in discussions of environmental regulation: The city's plastic ban goes into effect next month.
Plastic bans vary widely in scope—some target only shopping bags, others extend to cutlery, containers, or microbeads in cosmetics.
