Pierre Cazeneuve, who belongs to President Emmanuel Macron\u2019s Renaissance party, submitted a proposed law this week which could see the end of water bottles smaller than 50cl. Expanding his \u201cabsurd\u201d comment, Cazeneuve said that the diminutive bottles &#8211; which encompass the 33, 25 and 17cl sizes &#8211; &#8220;contain 20-25 grams of plastic for just three or four sips of water&#8221;. He has not included larger bottles in his potential ban &#8211; yet.<\/p>\n<p>In order to achieve that, it would need to be debated in parliament and win the support of the majority of MPs there. Currently, it\u2019s not very likely to happen as the current makeup of the government is not just deeply divided, but there\u2019s also no party majority in the House. However, if it did pass, many French citizens would likely be in favour of it.<\/p>\n<p>In France, at least 13 billion plastic bottles are produced every year. To make it worse, a significant proportion of them are not recycled, with a large number of them ending up in the oceans, which causes vast environmental damage. Nevertheless, France does actually have extensive legislation covering single-use plastics already in place. The so-called &#8216;anti waste law&#8217; has gradually prohibited the use of single-use plastics including cutlery, drinking straws, and take-away boxes, and also put limits on plastic packaging for retailers. Across France, many towns and cities have accessible drinking water fountains where bottles can be refilled. In Paris, if you spot a sign in the window of a bar or caf\u00e9 with the &#8216;L&#8217;eau de Paris&#8217; logo, you can refill your bottle inside with tap water for no charge.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/10\/22\/environmental-nonsense-heres-why-france-wants-to-ban-bottled-water\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-618\/\">\u2018Environmental nonsense\u2019: Here\u2019s why France wants to ban bottled water<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[677,8689,575,561],"class_list":["post-134823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ban","tag-bottled-water","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-france"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134823"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134823\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
