Samoa to join other Pacific countries in battle against plastic

From , 3:03 pm on 25 June 2018

Samoa has become the latest country in the Pacific islands region to act against disposable plastic.

The government of Samoa has announced a ban on all single-use plastics from January next year.

The government says the ban will initially target single-use plastic bags and straws, with a goal of eventually widening it to include plastic and styrofoam containers and cups.
