| Styrofoam Ban Not Immediate |

| The long-awaited Environmental Protection (Pollution from Plastics) Regulations, 2020 came into force today, January 15th.
And the aim of the Plastic ban is "to reduce plastic and styrofoam pollution through the phasing out of single-use plastics, including shopping bags and styrofoam and plastic food utensils."
But the Minister who signed the regulation into law, Godwin Hulse, says that the eco-police won't be knocking at restaurant doors just yet.
