(FILES) This photo taken on September 4, 2024 shows desserts in single-use plastic containers and bags being sold to customers at a traditional Thai dessert shop in Bangkok. Each year the world produces around 400 million tonnes of plastic waste, much of it discarded after just a few minutes of use. Thailand started limiting single-use plastic before the pandemic, asking major retailers to stop handing out bags for free. But the policy has largely fallen by the wayside, with little uptake among country's street food vendors.
