Malaysian state to enforce plastics-free packaging
The Malacca state government, which aims to become a green state by 2020, is implementing plastics-free packaging effective September 1 this year.
The State Education, Higher Education, Science and Technology, Green Technology and Innovation Committee Chairman Md Yunos Husin said that use of biodegradable bags is allowed. Other packaging alternatives will also be explored.
Prior to the full implementation of the ban, the Malaysian state enforces Non-Plastic Bag Days on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
