Chile will have a law regulating the use of single-use plastic products in stores and restaurants.
The new text, which has just passed the filter of the Environment Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, prohibits, among other things, the delivery of meals with plastic cutlery.
The bill regulates single-use products that are delivered in restaurants, casinos, clubs, kitchens, soft drink machines, cafeterias, tea shops, bakeries or any other similar place that sells prepared foods.
It joins another law that eliminated plastic bags in stores and "allows us to take another fundamental step in the cultural change we need for a cleaner and more sustainable Chile," praised the Minister of the Environment, Carolina Schmidt.
