Tunisie Telecom: Plastic bags legalized again

Tunisia intends to pass a new law to limit the consumption of single-use plastic bags, aiming to gradually eliminate their use and replace them with sustainable alternatives. This initiative is part of the government's efforts to protect the environment and promote a circular economy. The project includes technical standards for biodegradable and reusable bags, as well as financial and criminal penalties for violators, along with a timeline for stopping their distribution in markets. However, there is ongoing debate about the effectiveness of previous regulations, especially since earlier laws, such as Government Order No. 2020, were not effectively enforced.
