Starting January 1, 2022, Armenians should not expect to see any plastic bags at retail stores. In just a few months, the sale and free distributions of plastic bags thicker than 50 microns will be banned in Armenia.

Arthur Ghavalyan from Armenia’s Ministry of Environment says that the goal is to stop the circulation of bags intended for short-term use, and to switch to bags made of reusable or biodegradable materials.

But what do Armenian think about this decision?
