On Tuesday's news, we brought you an update on the Plastic Ban
reporting that there had been no adjustment to the timeline. But that
was before a Cabinet intervention. It's a reversal of what had seemed
an environmental triumph and a move that gives a bit of cushion to
manufacturers who may not have been able to take another hit.
Late Tuesday evening Cabinet granted approval for the extension of the
timeframe, meaning that manufacture of single-use plastics did not
cease on July 15th, 2020 but will now continue until January 15, 2021.
There has, however, been no adjustment to the date prohibiting the
importation of single-use plastics, which was April 15, 2020, and is
now passed.
The sale and possession of single-use plastics will also become
prohibited by January 14th, 2021.
