Regulation proposes fines of up to MVR 100,000 for single-use plastic violations
The Maldives government has drafted a Ministry of Environment regulation under Article 31 of the Waste Management Act to enforce restrictions on single-use plastics, with a graduated enforcement scheme of warnings and fines. Repeat offenders may be fined up to MVR 150 per prohibited item, capped at MVR 100,000, and the ministry must publish a national phase-out plan within 12 months of the regulation coming into force.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
