Lunch sheets and 'regiform' boxes prohibited-instead leaves

In order as a step to minimize environmental pollution laws have been enacted to  completely prohibit the use of polythene sheets and  rigifoam boxes that are used in markets.These laws have been given the green light by the President.

This has been conveyed by the  Director of southern province central environmental authority HS

Premachandra. This was said at a meeting held at the auditorium of the  Galle divisional secretariat.

As an initial step the manufacture,distribution and  marketing of wrapping paper (lunch sheets) and 'regifoam' boxes have been completely banned.

It is reported that when such materials are banned it is natural for the businessmen to resort to alternate ways.For example in India from leaves of trees they have designed a plate like structure  which could be used for two weeks before they decay.

Likewise in our country also there are environment friendly alternatives. Our people do not think of such devices was what the authorities of the central environmental authority believe.

Of course it is reported that only polythene that are over 20 microns thickness  could be used for lunch packets.In this regard the authorities of the central environmental authority will raid places where inferior and polythene s below 20 micron thickness are sold.
