Summary

While acknowledging that plastic bans increase costs for businesses, the author argues that reducing plastic consumption is necessary to prevent the environmental and health harms — including microplastic pollution — that result from uncontrolled plastic use.

The paper analyzes the cost-benefit involved in the banning of plastics.Most governments have just imposed a ban on single-use plastics which even though, not completely being followed has led to an increase in the price of consumables.Once the whole gambit of plastic products is banned, the impact on cost is likely to be even more acute.Despite this, it is important to ban the product as it is a complete disaster for man, animals, and the environment.
