The Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) has announced that the free distribution of shopping bags used for carrying goods will be prohibited from tomorrow (November 1).
According to an extraordinary gazette notification issued on October 1, vendors must now indicate the price of shopping bags on bills provided to consumers.
The regulation applies to container bags made of low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which can no longer be given free of charge.
Businesses are also required to clearly display the price of shopping bags at their outlets, ensuring transparency and compliance with the new directive.
