With the spread of a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), more households eat and deliver food, and the issue of disposable plastic becomes a social issue, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun announced that it would ban it in all industries by 2030.

Prime Minister Chung announced at the state affairs inspection and coordination meeting presided over at the Seoul government office on the morning of the 24th, “We plan to expand the prohibited business types so that disposable plastics disappear in all industries by 2030, and strictly limit repackaging and double packaging. .

He said, “To increase the plastic recycling rate, we will implement various measures, such as the mandatory use of recycled raw materials in the production of products, while replacing all plastics with eco-friendly plastics in the long run.”

Prime Minister Jung emphasized, “It may be inconvenient, but it is an inevitable task.” “Despite the government’s efforts, the use of plastic raw materials per person is still the world’s third largest, and the amount of plastic waste is increasing due to non-face-to-face consumption due to Corona 19.”

In addition, Prime Minister Chung said, “I am worried that the general public is also easily purchasing drugs through the Internet such as the dark web recently,” and said, “I will do my best with a determined will to eradicate illegal drugs in our lives.”

Prime Minister Chung added, “We will detect signs of illegal transactions in advance through expansion of a dedicated investigation team and analysis of big data, and will strengthen post-penalties such as confiscation and collection of criminal proceeds.”
