NEA intends to amend the Eight Schedule to limit the content of:

(For diesel)
Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) and manganese in methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT)

(For Petrol)
methanol, manganese in methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT), and phosphorus

The notified regulation establishes the permissible limits for quality parameters for waste water and waste water sludge prior to final disposal as well as technical mechanisms and procedures for their management, and it contributes to the recovery, protection and sustainable use of water resources.

MEECC is developing a long term strategy to eliminate plastic items in the Environment. The first step was to restrict in July 2017 the sale, manufacturing and importation of some plastic items such as plastic bags, Styrofoam boxes and some plastic utensils. Part of the plastic strategy was to implement this restriction in phases and as a result encourage the sale and use of biodegradable items. Therefore, to slowly remove plastic items in the environment , the Ministry of Environment , Energy and Climate is imposing a restriction on the importation, manufacturing and sales of single use plastic straws.
