The Congress of Quintana Roo has unanimously approved a law prohibiting
the use of materials and utensils made of plastic, such as straws, polystyrene
glasses, cutlery among others, as well as unicell products including plastic
bags, in supermarkets and convenience stores, pharmacies etc. The new law
exempts equipment and materials used in construction and the packaging
of goods and products used for medical purposes.
The banning of all plastic products must be carried out in coastal areas and
the offshore islands, plus all other vulnerable zones, in the next six months
and the new law will come into immediate effect thirty days after
publication in the Official Journal of the State.
For the rest of the State (cities and towns) there will be a maximum period
of one year to apply the new law, with the purpose of giving local companies
the chance to switch to eco-friendly alternatives, thereby creating a new
comprehensive management scheme to reduce, re-use, and recycle waste,
as well as regenerate natural resources and the whole environment of the
State of Quintana Roo.
