On November 25, a draft Government Resolution on the introduction of a moratorium on the production and sale of products (bags, sacks, packaging materials) from polymer films of less than 20 microns intended for the public (end user) was submitted for public discussion.

The Regulation aims to prevent environmental pollution and reduce waste generated from packaging bags made of polymer materials.

Massive use of packaging bags of polymer materials leads to the fact that a large number of packaging bags of polymer materials accumulated around the landfills of solid household waste, which creates an additional negative impact on the environment.

The adoption of the NLA should make a significant contribution to ensuring the environmental safety of the country.
