Johor to study effects of banning polystyrene containers


JOHOR BARU: The state government will carry out an in-depth study before banning the use of polystyrene containers, which have been blamed for clogging up drains and rivers and even becoming mosquito-breeding grounds.

State Health and Environment Committee chairman Datuk Ayub Rahmat said the matter would be brought up during the Johor Green Technology Council meeting early next year.
