Where do these small clear plastic bags come from? [Courtesy]Since the ban on plastic carrier bags came into effect in August 2017, we have witnessed tremendous progress, including a change in individual perception towards plastic materials. We have seen a rise in innovative items meant to replace plastic bags that were essentially single-use.

Fundamentally, educating the citizens on plastic waste, existing regulations and policies on plastic carrier bags and other single-use items will reduce demand for plastics.
