Why 2026 and not 2024 or even 2025?
They should implement things like this rather sooner than later.
Ideally, I agree with you. But with the scale of waste that we're talking about here, countries need time to plan and implement alternatives.
They shouldn't have done this for years so they don't need time to plan. Saving the planet is expensive and you shouldn't cheat or you just have to pay.
My own country, Germany, does this and it is really appalling to me that this was legal for so many years.
