PETALING JAYA: The Selangor government’s “No Plastic Bag Day” campaign, now held on Saturdays, will be extended to every day of the week starting 2017.
Elizabeth Wong said the state government will couple this with the polystyrene-free containers campaign next year.
“Beginning Jan 1, 2017, all retailers in Selangor will no longer provide polystyrene containers and free single-use plastic bags.
“Local council by-laws have been revised to support this policy and retailers must agree to go plastic-free when applying for or renewing their licences.
