The Portuguese government is preparing measures to reduce the consumption of very light plastic bags. The initiative comes within the scope of environmental efforts to reduce the impact of plastics on the environment.
The authorities are working together with the distribution sector and industry to anticipate measures to reduce the consumption of these materials. This collaboration aims to ensure an effective implementation of the new rules.
The effects of the new measures should come into force at the beginning of next year, when a significant decrease in the use of very light plastic bags in the country is expected.
