Bahrain has banned the production and use of single-use plastic bags which have been posing a threat to aquatic and wildlife across the region in a decisive move which comes into effect today.
The ban on the import, manufacture and distribution of single-use plastic bags with a thickness of less than 35 microns, announced by the Testing and Metrology Directorate of the Industry, Commerce, and Tourism Ministry, is part of the government’s plan to protect the environment from pollutants and reduce the spread of plastic waste .
