    Is there really no alternative in shampoo & disposable coffee cups?

    There is - but i personally think it’s up to customers to not just grab what’s on the shelf and do at least some basic research, because PFAS generally have to be marked on the bottle. Disposable coffee cups are just stupid all together.

    This could have been done years ago but if industry can’t self regulate then bans it is.

    I get the sentiment, but why not regulate stuff, before just banning it? And while we’re at it, how about educating the customer?

      You’re just shifting responsibility to the population that has no real control over the matter. That’s completely unethical.
