Bans on single-use plastic bags came into effect in 29 of Mexico's 32 states between 2018 and 2021. But in Puebla, where plastic bags have been banned since 2020, 12 to 13 tons of plastic bags are collected daily.
Mexico's lack of infrastructure means that lighter plastics blow around, 'are easily transported by rain and wind,' and as microplastics, are then harder to remove, and then they enter food chains.
