South Korea to Reinstate Disposable Cup Ban on April 1st

I guess we will see how long this regulation lasts since the incoming Yoon administration is opposing it:

A ban on coffee shops and restaurants offering disposable plastic cups will be reinstated on April 1, but the incoming administration of Yoon Suk-yeol is already objecting.     
   
The ban on disposable cups, which was first instituted in 2018, was temporarily lifted during the Covid-19 pandemic. According to the Environment Ministry, stores that fail to comply face fines of up to 3 million won ($2,400).    
   
In June, a system in which retailers have to pay for returned empty bottles and cans will be implemented.    
   
The transition team for the Yoon government has asked for the disposable cup ban to be put off.
