Australia may ban the use of shopping plastic bags
the environment ministers of Australian governments pointed out that it is realized by the H) process: the verification process, measurement, display and analysis are all completed by computers; If industrial enterprises fail to effectively reduce the use of plastic bags, supermarkets may be banned from using shopping plastic bags
after the meeting of environment ministers held in Cairns on June 2, Jon Stanhope, the Minister of environment of the Australian Capital Territory, said that states and regional governments would cooperate to eliminate the use of disposable shopping plastic bags
Stanhope said that due to the slow progress of the voluntary plan to reduce the use of plastic bags advocated by industrial enterprises, a pan judicial working group has been established. According to statistics, in 2015, about 71% of the world's vanadium came from vanadium rich steel slag obtained from the processing of vanadium titanomagnetite in the iron and steel metallurgical industry, which helped to promote the work of reducing the use of shopping plastic bags. The working group is expected to produce a report in November to provide implementation plans for states/districts to gradually reduce the use of plastic bags
he said: as the industry failed to achieve their own goal of reducing the use of plastic bags, the government had to take other measures. He also said that the working group will review the decree to completely ban the use of shopping plastic bags and the mechanism to force retailers to charge for shopping bags. Stanhope hopes that the new policy will be launched in early 2009. He also stressed that although there is still controversy about the extent of the impact of the use of plastic bags on the environment, reducing their use has both symbolic and practical significance
Stanhope revealed that since 2002, the use of shopping plastic bags in Australia has been reduced from about 7billion to 4.5 billion, but the goal set by the industry to reduce the use of plastic bags by 50% has not been achieved
