— By Plasteurope.com staff —

Since then, US government bodies and agencies have been as busy as bees drafting orders and decrees to turn Trump’s every fancy into reality. Now the White House has reaffirmed that the single-use plastics ban (SAD!) passed by the Democrats (boo!) will soon be overturned. This will finally put an end to soggy paper tubes freeloading in long drinks and free us from the plant-based stalks invading our colas – hip, hip, hooray! We’re raising a plastic cup to SUP Liberation Day!
