Bhutan has implemented a nationwide ban on single-use plastics, including plastic bags, straws, and cutlery. The government is collaborating with local businesses and manufacturers to promote biodegradable alternatives. Bhutan’s environmental agencies are also launching awareness campaigns to educate citizens on the importance of reducing plastic waste. By taking this step, Bhutan aims to align with its environmental preservation goals and set an example for other nations in the region. Violations of the ban will result in fines and community service penalties.
