Perak, Johor to ban polystyrene

Good riddance: Discarded polystyrene plates and cups clog up drains and rivers and provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

IPOH: Perak and Johor, which are moving towards a ban on polystyrene containers, are encouraging people to use tiffin carriers or other biodegradable containers.

The Perak government has declared a total ban on the usage of polystyrene containers and plastic bags from June next year.
