Why did the French Ministry of Environmental Protection issue a charter to build a beach without plastic products?

According to France News Radio, Brune Poirson, State Secretary of the French Ministry of Environmental Protection and Development, published a charter on Monday (August 5) when visiting the beach near La Seyne-sur-Mer in Valle, proposing to build a "beach without plastic objects".

The specific goal of this charter is that by 2025, there will be no more plastic products on the beach. This Charter is used to combat the littering of plastic waste on the beach, including the commitment of 15. 20/kloc-in March, 2004, garbage was piled up on Mimizan beach in southwest France. The statistics are shocking: 80% of the garbage on the beach comes from land, and 75% of it is plastic products, including disposable plastic bags, different plastic packages and cigarette butts.

A study by IFREMER listed the Mediterranean Sea as the most polluted sea area in Europe, mainly involving Marseilles and the northeast coast of Corsica. Oceanographers make statistics according to the amount of garbage per square kilometer, and this number is still increasing. In the 1990s, there were 100 pieces of garbage per square kilometer, but now there are as many as 300 pieces per square kilometer in some heavily polluted areas.

This move by the State Secretary of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Development is to remind the public of this situation, prevent the seriousness of the problem, and take the initiative to pick up garbage. The sorted garbage will also be gradually placed near the beach. While some tourists are required to change their bad behaviors, some businesses are also required to stop distributing disposable plastic bags.

The specific objectives to be achieved by the Charter seem ambitious. According to the report of World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), France dumped 1 1200 tons of plastic waste into the Mediterranean Sea in 20 16. The organization also launched a joint signature appeal campaign on its website. The European Union has also decided to ban disposable plastic products from 202 1.
