Traders encouraged to sell alternative to plastic bags

WOVEN bags will be sold at 15 morning and night markets in the Sepang Municipal Council (MPSepang) areas to reduce the use of plastic bags. It is part of the state government’s move to stop the use of plastic bags and polystyrene packaging beginning Jan 1, 2017.

Council president Datuk Puasa Md Taib said the council would set up booths for vendors of woven and non-woven bags as an alternative form of packaging.
