Plastic to be barred from Co To island
VTV.vn - From September 15th, people and tourists will not be allowed to bring plastic bags or single-use plastic items to Co To Island, Quang Ninh province.

After a year of piloting the no-plastic scheme, which involves advising people and tourists not to bring plastic bags, single-use plastic items, and materials that pose a risk of environmental pollution to the island, this recommendation will now become a compulsory requirement.

The island district has established a control team at Co To Wharf to prevent people, tourists, and cargo ships from bringing plastics onto the island. In addition, all administrative units, schools, markets, and seafood fishing businesses on the island are not allowed to use plastic bags or disposable plastic items.
