Key elements of this framework should include: National Plastic Bans and Gradual Phase-Out: Governments should set clear timelines to phase out single-use plastics in tableware by a specific date (e.g., 2027). This phase-out could start with high-use plastics like straws, cutlery, and takeout containers, before moving on to less commonly used items like plastic cups. Mandates for Compostable and Biodegradable Products: Governments must create mandatory regulations requiring all disposable tableware to meet specific compostability standards (e.g., EN13432 or ASTM D6400).
