Malaysia wants to get rid of single-use plastic by 2030. Bioplastics may help it get there.

The country generates around four million tonnes of plastic waste per year, about a third of which is not recycled and ends up in waterways.

A bottle littered in a valley will take up to 450 years to decompose, Jordan-based artist Maria Nissan said.

Government departments have to develop plans to switch over to alternatives, such as biodegradable and compostable materials.

Ismail Sabri said good practices like avoiding single-use plastics and saving on energy resources should be inculcated as a way of life.

Kempen Hindari Plastik Sekali Guna sedang giat dijalankan dan merupakan salah satu usaha kerajaan selaras dengan Malaysia’s Roadmap Towards Zero Single-Use Plastics, 2018-2030. Tujuan kempen ini adalah untuk menggalakkan rakyat Malaysia khususnya mengurangkan penggunaan plastik sekali guna melalui beberapa kaedah seperti menggantikan penggunaan beg plastik dengan beg yang boleh digunakan beberapa kali, membawa botol air sendiri, membawa bekas sendiri untuk membeli makanan dan sebagainya. Kali ini adik Ridha Sariy Mohd Sharu Anuar 14, kru Semerbak TV, TV PSS SMK Kampung Baru Kerteh, Terengganu akan membawa anda melihat aktiviti-aktiviti yang telah dilakukan oleh Kelab Pencinta Alam SMK Kampung Baru Kerteh dalam menjayakan program ini.
