A new law banning plastic packaging on most fruit and vegetables came into effect in France on New Year's day. Cucumbers, lemons, and oranges are among the 30 varieties banned from being wrapped in plastic. Larger packs, as well as chopped or processed fruit, will be exempt. President Emmanuel Macron called the ban "a real revolution".
