3 Ecological Advances in 2021
The end of single-use plastics
Straws, cups, lids, coffee capsules, confetti, sequins, bottle-caps — since January 1, the sale of single-use plastics is progressively becoming obsolete. As stocks drop, they can be expected to disappear from our daily lives. The government has given itself twenty years to establish a list of products to ban, including plastic shower-gel and shampoo containers.
Bidding obsolescence goodbye
France disposes of around one million tons of electronics every year, meaning that in 2021 it's high time for a change. Beginning this year, the "reparability indicator" arrives — meaning that brands will be required to rate their products on a scale of 1 to 10, informing the consumer of the reparability of a given gadget. The requirement applies to smartphones, laptops, TVs, washing machines, and lawnmowers. The objective? To lengthen the lifespan of our appliances by relying more on repairs than on replacements.
Respect for "Stop Ads" stickers
Already plastered on the mailboxes of 1 in 5 citizens, the "Stop Pub" (in English, "Stop Ads") well-known stickers are meant to indicate the owner's refusal of printed publicity fliers. However, the notices aren't always respected. In order to rectify the situation, fines for ignoring the stickers are becoming more serious. Formerly set at 450 euros, the penalty has risen to 1,500 euros, and 3,000 in the case of repeated offenses. The days of wasteful flyers piling up in the letterbox will finally be a thing of the past
