This article in particular has to do with the cutting back and eventually eliminating the one time use of plastic cutlery items such as knives, forks, straws, spoons and many others. Chapter 4 & 5 of Savitz speaks about how the reactions of businesses to certain sustainability changes, the acceptance of it and how others may be against it. In this case the European government does back the decision to eventually discontinuing the use of these products overtime. It is important to have some type of plan in order to completely make this happen and that they do have. They have a time-frame of when a certain amount will not be in use starting by the year of 2021 and hopefully ending in 2030 with a 30% recycle plastic usage. This ban has to be approved by the legislature in the UK and hopefully the country will begin their sustainability implementation within their economy.  Please find link attached and feel free to comment.
