Canada has announced a bold plan to ban single-use plastics, such as straws, cutlery, and grocery bags, starting in 2025. The decision comes as part of the country’s commitment to reducing pollution and combating climate change.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that the ban will significantly reduce ocean waste and support recycling industries. Environmental groups have applauded the move, urging other countries—including South Asian nations facing plastic pollution challenges—to follow suit.
This policy is expected to inspire similar eco-friendly initiatives in nations like India, Bangladesh, and Nepal, where waste management and environmental sustainability are growing concerns.
