Bali is taking drastic measures against plastic!

Bali, one of Indonesia's most popular and attractive tourist destinations, is taking new and important measures to combat the problem of plastic waste. Now, the island has officially announced a ban on the production of plastic containers with a capacity of less than 1 liter. This was announced by the island's governor, Wayan Koster, during a meeting with local manufacturers and industry representatives in Denpasar, Kompas reports.

Governor Koster said in a statement that the decision was made to protect the environment and reduce the heavy burden on the ecology. According to him, the production of small plastic containers is causing great harm to the island's nature and beaches. Such waste is spreading throughout nature, destroying many ecosystems and destroying the island's beautiful landscapes.

"We have decided to take every measure to ensure that there are no plastic containers smaller than one liter left on Bali. We demand that enterprises stop production and sell the remaining products as soon as possible. This will help to keep the island's nature and water bodies free from waste," the governor said.

Koster also drew attention to the fact that most of the island's landfills are overflowing. Today, most of the waste is made up of single-use plastic products. This seriously threatens the environment of the region and reduces the interest of tourists in Bali. The governor stressed that in order for Bali to remain environmentally friendly and permanently attractive to tourists, it is necessary to take a serious approach to the issue of waste.

He said that such an initiative will not only protect the environment, but also develop the island's economy. Environmental problems can negatively affect the economic situation of the island and reduce the flow of tourists. Maintaining ecological balance is very important for Bali to remain one of the most popular destinations among tourists.

Governor Koster also said that the central government supports this initiative. This will allow regional and central governments to jointly fight plastic waste.

It is worth noting that Bali receives millions of tourists every year, and the environmental situation there directly affects the flow of tourists. Therefore, the fight against plastic waste has become one of the most pressing issues on the island today. It is hoped that this decision will serve to further preserve the natural beauty and environment of the island. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
