The new regulations on plastic bags in South Africa will be implemented soon.
Val, the Minister of environment and tourism of South Africa, has a higher pressure holding pressure and cavity pressure to make the products in the cavity dense. Li Moosa reached an agreement with the industry and Commerce yesterday that the thickness of plastic bags produced by manufacturers will be modified from 17 mm to 30 mm in the future, hoping to help everyone meet the specifications for recycling. As for the printing area on the plastic bag, it should not exceed 25% of the total area, but if the printing ink used has environmental benefits, the printing area can account for more than half of the total area
in the future, supermarkets will not provide free shopping bags to the public. If consumers do not bring their own shopping bags, they need to buy plastic bags out of their own pockets.

as for plastic bag manufacturers, the government considers that the manufacturer's existing equipment can only produce 24 mm thick at most, so it will postpone the implementation date in May next year by five years, that is, the manufacturer can still use the current model to produce 24 mm plastic bags within five years, and when the time limit expires, it needs to produce 30 mm thick plastic bags that meet environmental protection regulations
