Nod Llywodraeth Cymru yw cael gwlad nad yw’n defnyddio plastigion untro diangen. Pe byddai’r cynigion yn cael eu rhoi ar waith, byddai’n rhaid gwahardd ystod o eitemau plastig untro sy’n anodd eu hailgylchu ac sy’n aml yn cael eu taflu fel sbwriel. Ymysg yr eitemau hyn mae gwellt plastig, ffyn cotwm a pholystyren sy’n dal bwyd a diod. Mae’r cam gweithredu hwn yn rhan o waith mwy o fynd i’r afael â’r broblem o lygredd plastig, lleihau sbwriel a helpu i symud Cymru tuag at economi gylchol.
The Welsh Government’s ambition is for a Wales free from unnecessary, single use plastics. If the proposals are implemented, a range of single use, hard to recycle and commonly littered plastic items, such as straws, cotton buds, polystyrene food and drinks containers would be banned. This action is part of wider efforts to tackle the problem of plastic pollution, reduce litter and help move Wales towards a circular economy.
