These products are sometimes called \"non-plastic \".

The old Yellow Pak N holds bags of about 35 microns, while bags from clothing or department stores are usually between 50 and 70 microns.
Now a lot of people are using bags of jute or polypropylene that can be reused over and over again.
The government encourages retailers to clarify the thickness of the bags they provide to suppliers and recommends that they choose reusable bags. Over the six-month phase-

Based on the fact that plastic bags are sometimes manufactured by factories, their manufacturing process prevents them from breaking down quickly or easily.
For example, compostable bags, if not properly composted, end up being a problem, and not everyone can use the home compost that can handle these bags.
But the Environment Ministry suggested that this part of the ban could be re-examined if appropriate infrastructure was developed.
People can still buy lightweight barrier bags, such as the one you get at a deli or a slaughter shop, as well as bin liners, pet garbage bags and diaper bags.
Bags used in the package are also tax-free, such as bread bags and bags of cooked chicken.

However, the department noted that it wanted to focus more on working with businesses to encourage compliance.
If someone contacted the department to tell them about the violation, the officer would contact the business and work with them to find out why they did not stop distributing prohibited baggage.
The department also plans to start a random retail zone audit to assess compliance levels and advise retailers where changes are needed.
