Bali becomes the first Indonesian island to ban single-use plastic bags, straws, and polystyrene

The long-promised plastic bag ban is now officially in effect as of June 23rd, 2019. After a six months adaptation period, the Bali government officially announced the ban on all single-use plastic bags, straws, and polystyrene is becoming the first province in Indonesia to do so. This is a significant victory for Bali’s environment and the future of the island of gods as the Indonesian government declared back in December 2017, Bali as a state of emergency with its plastic pollution crisis. We would like to properly honor and celebrate all of whom have been a part of this massive movement to enforce this change. What started as a dream for two young sisters Melati and Isabel Wijsen, cofounders of Bye Bye Plastic Bags back 6 years ago, to our dedicated partners EcoBali Waste Management, to reclaimed local activists including Gede Robi and Jane Fischer, now has united the whole island to get behind them.
