Kuwait Voluntary Work Center announced Wednesday that the Union of Consumer Co-Operative Societies (UCCS) agreed on replacing plastic bags with environment-friendly biodegradable bags.
The remarks were made to KUNA by the center’s Chairperson Sheikha Amthal Al-Ahmad AlJaber Al-Sabah, after meeting with advisors from the Environment Public Authority (EPA), deputy chairman of the UCCS Khaled Al-Hodheiban and heads of co-operative societies. The replacement aims to protect the environment and reduce harm caused by non biodegradable plastic bags that could threat the lives of humans and other living creatures, Sheikha Amthal, also member of the Supreme Council for the Environment added.
