Assuming that plastic ban was carried out (say in china) how would it affect imports and exports, what would the alternatives be, and would it even be feasible? If so, why has no nation even attempted a ban, even if slightly more expensive isn’t aluminium, glass or carton a way healthier alternative?

    glass bottles you have problems with them weighing way more and breaking during shipping so for that to be “worth it” we’d have to come up with some way to equate the additional emissions and losses with whatever the plastic is doing.
