By: Times News Service
Muscat: People in Oman found using single-use plastic bags will be required to pay a fine ranging from OMR100 to OMR2,000, after the ban comes into effect on 1 January, 2021.
The Environment Authority (EA) decided to impose this fine so that people would understand the importance of following practices that help safeguard environment.
“The authority will go ahead with the decision to ban single-use plastic bags,” said Ahmed bin Zahir Al Hinai, the Director General of Environmental Affairs at the EA. “This is part of our plans to preserve the Omani environment from pollutants and waste considered harmful to it and the rich wildlife of our country.”
