Plastic-free habits take root

Breaking the habit: The ‘No Plastic Bag 2.0’ campaign involves supermarkets, department and conve­nience stores, hypermarkets, fast food restaurants, retail chains, pharmacies, as well as other business premises.

GEORGE TOWN: Although enforcement of the “No Plastic Bag” campaign began on Sept 1, educating the public on the use of reusable bags will continue, says Penang Green Council (PGC).

PGC general manager Josephine Tan said while enforcement will come under the local authority, the council wants to ensure the people fully understand the campaign.
