More details have been revealed about a possible single-use plastics ban in the Regional District of the North Okanagan.
The district says they want to focus on regulating the use of single use checkout bags before considering the ban of other items like straws and single-use plastic food containers.
The RDNO says focusing on a ban of a single item will help ease people into the process.
” To achieve consistency throughout the region, starting with a ban of one product category, such as single-use checkout bags, has better potential for widespread support than multiple product categories like straws and foam containers. Based on the success of an initial single-use checkout bag regulation, these additional product categories may be considered for regulation in the future,” the staff report reads.
