「Philippines lower house approves bill taxing single-use plastics」:　これって、解決になるんですか?

ま～
日本も、レジ袋の有料化の結果も疑問ですけどね～

A tax of 100 pesos ($1.75) would be levied on firms for every kilogram of single-used plastics that they produce or import, the bill said, and it would rise by 4% annually starting in 2026 to discourage usage and protect the environment.

この税金で、代替品の製品開発をするなら賛成ですが、そんなことはないでしょう？

Roughly 80% of global ocean plastic comes from Asian rivers, and the Philippines alone contributes a third of that total, according to a 2021 report by Oxford University's Our World in Data.

確かに、酷いのですが。

The tax measure, which needs to be approved by the Senate before a reconciled bill is sent to Marcos for signature, is expected to raise to raise 9.3 billion pesos in revenues annually, which will be used to fund solid waste management projects.

も、いいですね～　でも、使い捨てプラスチック自体の存在は消えなさそうです。　根本的解決になるのでしょうか?　

日本のレジ袋有料化を観ている思いです。　恐らくは別の解決方法がある気がしてなりません。
