Challenges for Paper Straw Manufacturers and Overturned Ban on Plastics in Canada

Paper straw manufacturers are facing challenges as the government delays the plastic straw ban, leading to a call for emergency funding and the establishment of a market for their inventory. Meanwhile, a court ruling in Canada has overturned a government ruling that added certain plastics to a list of toxic items, resulting in a ban on manufacturing and importing. The ruling has raised concerns about the ban's effectiveness and its impact on efforts to tackle the plastic waste crisis.
