The new law, which aims to curb environmental damage and protect public health, imposes hefty fines ranging from €1,000 to €40,000 for those who fail to comply.
In line with these regulations, the government introduced a charge of €0.03 per light plastic bag with a wall thickness exceeding 50 microns, calculated monthly based on the quantity circulated by sellers.
The move is seen as a significant step in reducing plastic consumption and improving waste management practices, with the government emphasizing the law’s potential to mitigate the harmful effects of plastic waste on both the environment and human health.
