Jamaliah: State to review ineffective polystyrene ban


Jamaliah says alternative containers can be handed out at community events.

POLYSTYRENE clam shells and cups are still being used by traders for takeaway orders despite a ban imposed on their usage since 2017 in Selangor.

Public health and environment committee chairman Jamaliah Jamaluddin said the use of polystyrene among traders was high due to demand from consumers for polystyrene packaging.
