I find it difficult to imagine the USA giving up its plastic addiction, given the high levels of consumption and the convenience plastic provides. I think a reasonable approach for regulators might be to require all single-use plastic packaging to be industrially compostable (corn-derived etc). This way you still get the convenience of the packaging, no need to change habits, but the waste can all be turned back into soil without pollution.
