Idaman Kedah Using Green Plastic
In August 2016, a progressive change swept through the state of Kedah as the “Idaman Kedah” initiative took a remarkable step towards environmental sustainability. Embracing eco-friendly practices, the initiative mandated the use of green plastic bags in all retail outlets and businesses across the state. Made from biodegradable materials, these green bags aimed to curb plastic pollution and reduce the harmful impact on the environment. Supported by government incentives and public awareness campaigns, businesses swiftly adopted the green plastic bags, setting a new standard for responsible waste management and fostering a culture of environmental consciousness. By the end of August, “Idaman Kedah” had emerged as a trailblazer in the fight against plastic pollution, inspiring other regions to follow suit and commit to greener practices for a cleaner, more sustainable future.
