The Sindh government has taken a bold step toward environmental protection by banning plastic bags across the province.

The decision, announced during a cabinet meeting led by Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, amends the Sindh Prohibition of Non-Degradable Plastic Products Rules 2024. Alongside this eco-friendly move, the cabinet approved financial grants and new monitoring rules, signalling a busy agenda for the province.

The new rules prohibit the manufacturing, selling, and using all plastic shopping and carrier bags, including non-degradable and oxo-degradable types. The ban, effective 60 days from approval, aims to reduce pollution and preserve Sindh’s ecological balance. A spokesperson for the Chief Minister confirmed that businesses must stop using plastic bags entirely, marking a significant shift toward sustainability.

Plastic bags harm the environment by clogging waterways, polluting soil, and endangering wildlife. The Sindh government’s ban reflects a commitment to cleaner cities and healthier ecosystems. Targeting production and use, the policy sets a strong example for other regions battling plastic waste.

The plastic bag ban requires businesses and residents to adapt quickly, with alternatives like cloth or biodegradable bags gaining traction. The government’s grants and monitoring rules further show its focus on education, health, and security. As Sindh moves forward, these steps could inspire broader change.
