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.
