Bahrain preparing to charge for plastic bags

The move comes as the Supreme Council for the Environment took a ministerial decision of preventing the importing of plastic bags whiles the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism decided on the specification of plastic bags, making it mandatory to be biodegradable.
The implementation will reduce the environmental damage caused due plastic bags as the harm caused affects the surroundings, animals as well as marine life.
