Open petition: Ban factories from producing single use plastic bottles for still drinks

Ban factories from producing plastic bottles with still drinks in them and instead use recyclable cartons.

I would like a ban on factories producing plastic bottles because:

1) Plastic bottles and caps are some of the top most littered items in the world.
2) They become microplastics, which can make it more likely for animals to swallow them.
3) Plastic bottles often have a higher carbon footprint.
4) The lightweight rectangular shape of cartons could mean that more fit in one container, which may lower transport emissions.
