What this is about

  • Committee chair introduces the Single-Use Plastics Phase-Out Bill, 2026

This bill tackles plastic pollution in two ways: it phases out single-use plastic drink bottles smaller than 500ml within two years, and it creates a deposit-return scheme where you pay a small refundable deposit on a bottle and get it back when you return the empty.

Key points

  • Ban on single-use plastic drink bottles under 500ml within two years
  • A refundable deposit charged on plastic bottles, repaid on return
  • Clear collection points so bottles are recycled instead of dumped
