DENPASAR: Bali Governor I Wayan Koster has announced plans to ban the production of water bottles smaller than one litre, in an effort to address the island’s growing waste problem, which has been linked to several environmental disasters.

On Thursday (May 29), Koster summoned bottled water producers to a meeting in Denpasar to announce a new policy banning the production of water bottles smaller than one litre, which is set to take effect in January next year.
