Unfortunately, since the coronavirus outbreak the sustainability movement has regressed from its previous progress in the fight against single-use plastics.

The fear over the virus has been the biggest driver of this new pro-plastic movement which has reversed plastic bans in the U.S. and beyond.

However, global travel is having a damaging effect on the environment and tourism is responsible for around 8 percent of the world’s carbon emissions according to a recent study.
