Cherkasov said that the problem with the impact of plastic on the environment will lead to the fact that humanity will abandon its production.

“Plastic is one of the components that today affect waste and the fact that much more harm is done to the environment. We understand the problems that exist in the world: the continent that formed between India and Africa from plastic bottles and cups. This is a global trend that will lead to the fact that mankind will abandon disposable plastic utensils and find more modern means of packaging, ”the deputy explained.

He added that it is necessary to implement the best available technologies and practices that are successfully operating in other countries.

To implement this idea, according to Cherkasov, a roadmap is needed.

“A roadmap should be developed with a phased transition, where it should be written down ... technologies of enterprises that will gradually replace plastic dishes so that our citizens do not suffer,” the deputy added.

Earlier in Rospotrebnadzor, he spoke about the development of a bill to phase out the production of disposable plastic bags with an alleged complete ban in the future.
