Loopholes are so maddening. We need to ensure full lifecycle consideration for all consumer products. If it doesn't decompose within N years, the manufacturer needs to have a recycling solution. The current situation has the free market degrading our public environment for private profit. As you note, why should a 1mm bag be banned but a 2mm bag be ok?
