PENANG’S mission to eliminate the use of single-use plastic bags began on Sept 1 with the ban applying to many businesses across the state.
The ban is implemented at hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores, department stores, petrol station shops, pharmacies, fast food outlets and other licensed premises.
