China News network, August 27, according to the Greek "China-Greece Times" reported that according to a bill drafted by the Greek Ministry of Environment aimed at reducing the harm of plastic products to the environment, from July 3, 2021, the distribution of disposable plastic products in the market will be made illegal.

According to the report, these products include plastic tableware (forks, knives, spoons, chopsticks), plates, straws, food and beverage containers made of polystyrene foam, etc.

The bill stipulates that biodegradable plastic bags will also be banned. These were originally introduced as an "ecological" alternative to regular plastic bags, but during use it was discovered that these "alternatives" simply break down into smaller, still harmful pieces of plastic, which lurk in the environment indefinitely until they eventually break down completely.
