The municipality of Jbeil issued a memo, imposing on the commercial institutions to replace the use of plastic bags with eco-friendly ones.
The municipality stressed that it will follow-up on this project in order to raise the citizens’ awareness about the damages that can be caused by plastic to the environment, denying reports saying that this is a campaign against the traders.
Those who do not commit to the new procedure will be facing a series of measures, the municipality added.
