NASSAU, Bahamas — As the country moves toward a plastics and styrofoam ban in the year 2020, businesses have already begun to replace their old plastic containers and accessories with those utilizing alternative materials or biodegradable plastic-like materials, the Nassau Guardian reported on July 17.
Bahamas Chamber of Commerce and Employers’ Confederation (BCCEC) Energy and Environment Committee Chairperson Deborah Deal said there has been little pushback from the business community regarding the upcoming ban on plastics.
