TEMPO.CO , Jakarta - The Indonesian Movement of Diet Plastic Bags (GIDKP) regretted the decision made by the Indonesian Retailers Association (APRINDO) who decided to stop the trial use of paid bag since October 1, 2016.
They said that APRINDO should have used the intention of saving the environment not by relying on coercion but in the form of government regulation.
According to GIDKP, the program of the use of paid plastic has shown significant growth in some cities such as in Bandung, Jakarta and Banjarmasin.
In Bandung there is a reduction in plastic bags by 42 percent since the program was implemented.
"There is evidence of the effectiveness of these measures. APRINDO’s support is important to maintain the momentum. It is unfortunate that they pull out of this commitment," said GIDKP Daily Coordinator Rahyang archipelago on Saturday (1/10).
