Eliminating Single-Use Plastic: China to Ban Bags and Other Items
China is leading the way on eliminating single-use plastics and it's not the only country in Asia moving in that direction. Thailand announced this year that single-use plastic bags would be banned in major stores, with a complete ban across the entire country in 2021. Indonesia's capital Jakarta is also banning single-use plastic bags by June 2020. The Indonesian island of Bali has also banned single-use plastic.
