'The government is hailing the achievements of the ban on some plastic
products.
Senator Matthew Samuda, Minister with responsibility for Climate Change,
spearheaded the ban on single use plastics in January 2019.
Speaking with
Radio Jamaica News, Senator Samuda said while there is no one
single perfect policy prescription, important benchmarks have been achieved in
the first phase of the ban - a "huge victory" in reducing plastic waste by
"several million tonnes".
He said the ban on styrofoam lunch boxes and cups, plastic straws, and plastic
bags between 22 to 24 inches has been largely successful despite there being
"some leakage at the ports" in recent time.'
