“Recycling campaigns and greenwashing help plastic producers hide these facts from consumers. They make it harder for buyers to make smart and eco-friendly choices and for lawmakers to create fair and informed regulations.”

Doing the recycling this morning, knowing that plastic recycling sucks. We buy as few items in plastic bottles as we can (milk, mouthwash and cleaning supplies in bulk) but it's still way way too much. We're literally wrapping our food in toxic waste? Humans be like "it's fine".

The amount of plastic in a take away sushi package makes me want to weep.

The link below talks about Stone Straws banned biodegradable fossil fuel free straw that apparently feels like a plastic straw. Has anyone ever knowingly tried this straw? Does it hold up to the claim?

I am on the fence on the single use plastic ban - I like the concept but would prefer Canada take bigger action while I'd like to ensure the ban spurs innovation. I fear it may stymie it.

Please boost my question.

I just listened to the latest Cost of Living podcast with external Paul Haavardsrud about the banning of single use plastics. It talked about Stone Straw's biodegradable straw being included in the ban despite not being made with fossil fuels (I think it is Cellulose and Acetate).

Is this a government oversight or am I missing something?

Please boost I really want to learn more here.

CBC ListenWhy Canada has also banned some compostable plastics | Cost of Living with Paul Haavardsrud | Live Radio | CBC ListenWhen Ontario-based company, Stone Straw, first got wind of a ban on plastic straws, it invested heavily in devising a 100 per cent compostable, plant-based version that still looks and feels like plastic. So it came as a surprise to find out that compostable plastics (for some products) are now out too. Producer Jen Keene explores why greener alternatives are now on the naughty list.

MDPIMicroplastics in Widely Used Polypropylene-Made Food ContainersAs a potential threat to human health, ingestion of microplastics (MPs) has become of concern. Limited studies have carefully characterized the occurrence of MPs in polypropylene-made takeout food containers (TOFCs), which have been widely used in China. In this study, TOFC samples (n = 210) were collected from seven Chinese cities (Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Xining, Chengdu, Qingdao, and Dalian) and analyzed for MPs. All the TOFC samples contained MPs, with an abundance of 3–43 items/TOFC. The TOFCs from Chengdu (25 items/TOFC) contained the highest mean abundance of MPs, which is significantly (p < 0.01) higher than that from Shanghai (8.7 items/TOFC). Fiber accounted for 66–87% of the total for the shape of the MPs in the TOFCs from the different Chinese cities. Most of the MPs in the TOFCs from the different cities had a size of 201–500 μm and accounted for a mean 34–42% of the total MPs in the TOFCs. The major color type of the MPs in the TOFCs was transparent, accounting for a mean 39 (Qingdao)–73% (Hangzhou) of the total MPs. Polymer compositions of the MPs in the TOFCs were consistently dominated by polypropylene, which represented a mean 56–73% of the total MPs. The estimated daily intake of MPs for the general Chinese population through using TOFCs was in the range of 0.042–0.14 items/kg bw/day. To our knowledge, this is the most comprehensive study investigating the occurrence of MPs in TOFCs from China, which contributes to a better understanding of the sources of human oral exposure to MPs.
