Austria's Cabinet on Wednesday approved ambitious legislation to ban non-biodegradable plastic bags, following in the footsteps of its French and Italian neighbours.
According to the government, the planned ban would see a massive drop in the amount of plastic waste produced by the land-locked alpine nation by between 5,000 and 7,000 tons annually.
The new legislation passed by Austria's centre-right government is expected to be introduced at the beginning of 2020.
Austria's Cabinet has approved plans to ban all non-biodegradable plastic bags from 2020, which will cut the country's plastic litter and hopefully save more marine animals from dying after accidentally eating the masses of plastic rubbish strewn in our oceans
Vienna also plans to ban the addition of tiny plastic particles to cosmetic and cleaning products if the European Union fails to come up with a solution for this issue before 2020.
In October, European lawmakers backed an EU ban on single-use plastics from 2021.
This includes single-use straws, plates, cutlery, stirrers and cotton buds, which the EU says makes up 70 percent of all marine litter.
MEPs also added to this list, products made of oxo-degradable plastics, such as bags or packaging and fast-food containers made of expanded polystyrene.
Scientists have proven that it takes a plastic carrier bag longer than other bags, which can cause irreversible damage wildlife.

Meanwhile, in England, large shops have been charging shoppers 5p for all single-use plastic carrier bags since 2015. Similar charges are also applicable in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The number of plastic bags used in England has sharply dropped by some 80 percent since the government introduced the charge.
According to UK government data, over 7.6 billion single-use plastic bags were given to customers by major supermarkets in England in 2014, approximately 140 bags per person or the equivalent of about 61,000 tonnes of plastic.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
