Canada will ban single-use plastic products from 2021, Justin Trudeau announced in Montreal on Monday, June 10, according to the CBC.It is forbidden to use disposable plastic utensils and articles, including plastic bags, plastic water bottles, plastic straws, cotton swabs, beverage mixers, disposable containers made of expanded polystyrene, balloon sticks and other plastic products.
