"The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources is preparing relevant appeals on plastic bags, which will be sent to the relevant authorities. After that, there will be appeals for citizens as well.
This was stated at an online meeting organized by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources on the ban on the sale and distribution of plastic bags up to 15 microns in public catering and service facilities, said the head of the State Environmental Security Service Hikmet. Alizade said. He noted that at the same time, there will be a hotline.
According to him, many people are not interested in the change in polyethylene bags: "They are not interested in the thickness of the bag they are given where they go shopping. This issue should be in the interest of market owners. At the very least, they should understand that otherwise entrepreneurs will face fines. In order to avoid these fines, shop owners must request the relevant documents when purchasing plastic bags.
