The Quebec government announced plans to ban single-use plastic bags in retail stores, aiming to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable practices. The ban is set to take effect in 2024, aligning with similar initiatives across Canada and around the world to combat plastic pollution. The initiative is part of Quebec's broader environmental strategy, which includes increasing recycling efforts and encouraging the use of reusable bags. Retailers and consumers are being urged to adapt to the new regulations, with the government emphasizing the importance of collective action to protect the environment and reduce waste.
