I thank the member for her question.

I want to make the point that we have a multifaceted proposal for plastic waste management and reduction so that we can make sure we reach our targets. I think we have to work on all these measures to achieve that, and that includes taking a close look at how we manufacture products, at how packaging is made and recycled, and at standards. We have to make sure we have the necessary infrastructure, but we also have to reduce the amount of waste produced.
