This decision by the CMA CGM would force countries like the USA to re-think their usage of plastics

In what is seen as a historic decision in the shipping industry, the French major CMA CGM — the world’s third-largest shipping line — has announced that it has stopped transporting plastic waste on board its ships from June 1 to protect the oceans and biodiversity. If other shipping lines follow suit, it will have a significant impact on the usage of plastic and the disposal of plastic waste.
