The "D-Day" for the end of single use plastic bags in Thailand is January 1st 2021.

Thai Public Broadcasting Service reported that an agreement has been inked between the Ministry of the Environment and major retailers like CP Group (7-Eleven), Central and The Mall Group to stop handing out plastic bags by January 1st 2020.

This will result in an immediate 30% reduction in the billions of bags handed out to Thais annually.
