Bahrain has announced a ban on plastic water bottles with a liquid holding capacity of fewer than 200 millimetres in the Kingdom.
Zayed bin Rashid Alzayani, the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, said the ban is on the manufacturing, importing, and sales of prepacked plastic bottles of sizes less than 200 millimetres.
The ban, however, does not apply to water bottles produced for export, as per the decision published in the official gazette.
The ban becomes effective six months from the publication of the order in the official gazette. The Undersecretary of the Ministry and other concerned authorities will implement the ban.
