The Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) has announced that the free distribution of shopping bags used for carrying goods will be prohibited starting tomorrow (November 1).
In an extraordinary gazette notification issued on October 1, the CAA made it mandatory for vendors to indicate the price of shopping bags on bills issued to consumers.
The notification specifies that container bags made of low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LDPE) must not be provided free of charge. Businesses are also required to prominently display the price of these bags at their premises.
