ACR+ publishes updated report on plastic bag policies worldwide
22-FEB-2008
ACR+, the Association of Cities and Regions for Recycling and sustainable Resource management, has published the 2008 update of its report entitled 'Plastic Bags - Policies and Practices to Reduce Consumption'.
The report, first issued in January 2006, examines the national policy initiatives and tools used in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the Americas and Australasia to control the use of plastic bags.
It shows that existing tools focus on the provision of information, infrastructure, legal and economic instruments and that each has a particular application, depending on local circumstances and the level of administration at which the policy initiative takes place.
The report is available free of charge to ACR+ members and can be purchased at http://www.acrplus.org/technical-reports (table of contents accessible to all).
