France Bans Plastic Cutlery – IOTW Report

France Bans Plastic Cutlery

Telegraph-

Plastic crockery and cutlery is to be banned in France unless it is made from biologically sourced materials.

The law comes into force in 2020. It is part of a French environmental initiative called the Energy Transition for Green Growth, part of a package aimed at tackling climate change.

But, the Independent reported, the move faces a challenge from Pack2Go Europe, a Brussels-based organisation representing European packaging manufacturers.

“We are urging the European Commission to do the right thing and to take legal action against France for infringing European law,” said Eamonn Bates, secretary general of Pack2go Europe.

He said there was no proof that biologically sourced material was any more environmentally beneficial.

  1. Those poor dead dinosaurs (biological) perhaps wouldn’t have died off if they knew all the havoc they would create. My suggestion is to not die in order to restrict petroleum-based products for future generations; it’s the only way we can really save the planet. Anyone or anything that dies should be on a one-way rocket to space, their carcass has no place here to later turn into petroleum. Living lives matter! Err wait, I guess dead lives matter more to the planet, yea that’s it, stop friggin dying so you remain insignificant.

  2. If the dinosaur theory of petroleum is correct, then petroleum-based plastics ARE biologically-sourced!
    (actually, even if the microbiological theory is correct, too!)

    What a bunch of dumb fucking frogs.

  3. I would not give a crap when the are overthrown by the very muslims they imported; except they have nuclear weapons so we would have to nuke them, just in case.

    For all of France, I recommend blasting off and nuking the site from obit…just to be sure. – from the movie, Aliens
