According to Japanese media reports, at a press conference held on the 26th, aiming at plastic bags used in supermarkets and convenience stores across Japan, Environment Minister Ichiro Harada said that he would implement a unified charge policy throughout Japan.
Yizhao Harada said that the full charge of plastic bags needs legal support.
Aiming at how small and medium-sized enterprises can charge plastic bags, Yizhao Harada said that the government would listen to opinions from all walks of life and adjust policies actively.
According to the introduction of Japan's Ministry of Environment, the specific rules of plastic bag fees will be further discussed in the future, but considering the impact of fees on consumers, even comprehensive fees will have to wait until after next year.
