Previously, the law banned virtually all types of single-use plastic products, including food packaging, bottles, utensils, egg cartons and food nets. However, the ban has now been relaxed, with only products that cannot be recycled falling under the full restriction.
Which plastic products can be used will be determined by the Cabinet of Ministers. The law has already been adopted by the Parliament and will come into force 10 days after its official publication.
The amendments were made to bring Kyrgyz legislation in line with the EAEU rules and the technical regulations on packaging safety
