The city of Paris has banned traditional plastic retail bags from its supermarkets in favor of compostable and bio-based bags.<\/p>\n
In a Dec. 16 statement, the Paris mayor\u2019s office said the decision was a move to reinforce the provision of \u201cenergy transition law\u201d on packaging and the city\u2019s bid to become a leader in the \u201cfight against climate change and the campaign for a circular economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The move will only allow compostable biosourced bags as well as paper and cotton bags for primary packaging.<\/p>\n
As part of the campaign, Italian bio-based plastic packaging company, Novamont SpA will offer more than 3 million bio-sourced and compostable bags to markets.<\/p>\n
Public awareness workshops on the end of disposable plastic bags will also be held to educate the public on different types of existing degradable and biodegradable bags.<\/p>\n
The move follows another already-in-place measure by Paris supermarkets to collect unsold food products and vegetable scraps as part of the city\u2019s environmental campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
