Taiwan. Like many Southeast Asian countries, Taiwan also has a massive problem with the Plastic waste in the environment. From 2030 at the latest, locals and travelers will have to get used to using, for example, a reusable Glass drinking bottle, a cotton bag or simple Fruit and vegetable nets to have with you.
This is because from this date, a massive ban on single-use plastic will be enforced in Taiwan, prohibiting the sale, possession and manufacture of plastic bottles, plastic cups, plastic bags and other single-use plastic items.
Preparation for the massive changeover
Up to the year 2030, there is a clear roadmap to meet the Plastic in Taiwan and reduce waste from disposable products step by step. From 2019, restaurant chains will no longer serve plastic straws and from 2020, you will no longer find disposable plastic cutlery or the typical disposable plates. In an organized process, Taiwan will gradually be prepared for the complete ban.
We will of course continue to monitor this positive decision.
