Just coming back from India. They've banned plastic bags and containers in any established store here, at least in the city I went to. Perhaps these countries have started taking more concrete steps than whatever it is thats leading the west?

And it caused quite many problems for them when they made that change.

How so and in what way? Just stating something without even the slightest bit of explanation is hardly believable.

Plastic was invented and became highly used because of its convenience and affordability, both to produce and ship. Do you really need peer reviewed data to entertain the idea that removing plastic could cause the inverse to be true? Because if not I'd ask for your studies that show transitioning away from plastic not being a huge obstacle.
