Question 6092 — waste

Summary

Mr. Mathieu Lefèvre questions the Minister of State, Minister of National Education, Higher Education and Research, on the use of single-use tableware in school canteens. Indeed, the law of February 10, 2020 relating to the fight against waste and the circular economy provides for the ban on disposable plastics by 2040. However, some school canteens still use disposable tableware unique whereas the transition is supposed to take place gradually with, for example, the ban on disposable tableware in fast food restaurants for meals served on site. Between 1.9 and 4.5 million tonnes of plastic waste are thrown away each year in France, which is double the world average. Knowing that one ounce of carbon dioxide is emitted for every ounce of polyethylene (PET) produced, the French consumption of single-use plastic is highly polluting. Thus, he questions him about the measures envisaged by the Government to regulate the use of single-use plastics in school canteens, in particular in order to train eco-responsible citizens.
