Members of the public are reminded that the ban on single use petro-based plastic bags will come into effect from Wednesday, January 1, 2020.

Wholesalers, retailers, supermarkets and those who use plastic bags in the operation of their businesses are therefore urged to seek out alternative products before the ban takes effect.

Those who contravene the regulations could face stiff penalties.
