Eliminating and reducing plastics from our daily lives is an objective that we have as a country, however, the goal is also for the entire world. In our country, for example, each state has been implementing measures to combat it: in Querétaro, Puebla and recently in Mexico City, they have already banned the distribution of single-use plastic bags; Now they will no longer be available in stores or supermarkets. This measure will benefit the environment in the long term, however, it will not be the case for the workers where these materials are manufactured because the new legal provisions do not contemplate them. Plastic bag factories close after ban Aldimir Torres, president of the National Association of AC Plastic Industries (ANIPAC), states that in light of the new legal provision in the country's capital to prohibit the distribution of plastic bags in shops and supermarkets, five manufacturers recently closed their businesses. With the Reform to the Solid Waste Law, which was approved in the local Congress, the marketing of bags, forks, knives, spoons, mixing sticks, plates, straws, glasses and their lids, trays for transporting food, among others, was prohibited. articles. The new provision will come into force in Mexico City in 2020, while in 2021 the rest of single-use materials will be prohibited.
Torres, in an interview with El Financiero, says that the closure of the companies caused the dismissal of 380 workers in CDMX. " These layoffs do not include those that were caused by the low activity of other companies that do not close, since they are working between 10 and 15 percent of their total capacity ," said the manager. Furthermore, the CDMX authorities, including the head of government Claudia Sheinbaum, do not listen to them with their circular economy proposal, which is why they are seen “as the bad guys in history.” “ We were not included in the Nepal WhatsApp Number conversation, plastics are more than a straw or a bag, it is the bed, the plane, the hospital, plastic is more than that, but if we focus on single-use ones, the only thing that They do not consider it a prohibition without thinking about the impact, the authorities carry out a closed conversation,” he said. Mexican plasticulture seeks to generate and use technologies to achieve greater agricultural productivity, always thinking about a sustainable approachPlastic industry in crisis due to pollution A few months ago the statistics were different: in just a year and a half, more than 50 companies were closed and others reduced their production capacity by between 35 to 40 percent. The plastic industry generated around a million jobs, but in the last year and a half more than 150,000 have been lost and there is a risk of reaching close to 300,000, added Torres. Every year 7 million tons of plastic are produced and consumed, of which 22 percent are bags and the rest are packaging, packaging and packaging products.
Plastic represents around 10 percent of urban solid waste, but the problem is that it is very visual, which is why it is considered one of the main culprits of pollution,” Torres considered. Therefore, it is necessary to begin to increase the manufacturing of environmentally friendly plastic bags since in 2020 it will be prohibited in Mexico City to sell, distribute and deliver non-renewable plastic bags.Each and every person is entitled to all rights: civil, political, economic, social and cultural.
