That's because capitalism has corrupted the entire political system and only allows measures that cut business expenses or increase consumer spending.

Notice how the only "single use" plastics that were cut were business expenses. Meanwhile every product at the supermarket, every product you buy online, every postage satchel and padding โ€” all wrapped in layers upon layers of single use plastic (or styrofoam, lol).
