“Today, plastic bags are prohibited in their initial phase. The minister stated during a World Environment Day celebration in the province capital that the government has a policy against plastic bags.

On World Environment Day, PM Shehbaz Sharif used the social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, to emphasize the importance of teamwork in protecting and preserving the environment for the sake of human welfare as well as the existence of the planet.

The quality of the air, water, and land is seriously threatened by plastic pollution, which exacerbates environmental deterioration. Its detrimental impacts on human health—such as cancer and ingesting microplastics found in food—highlight how urgent it is to address this problem.

In 2020, the Lahore High Court (LHC) outlawed the use of plastic bags in all city shops, bakeries, and lodging facilities.

Attorney Salman Khan Niazi’s appeal was heard by the LHC bench led by Justice Shahid Kareem, who also set a two-week deadline for the phase-out of plastic bags.
