The Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency (Pak-EPA) seized over 15 kilograms of banned single-use plastics during an enforcement operation in Islamabad’s G-6 sector on Friday.
Led by Dr. Zaigham Abbas, Director (Lab/NEQS), the inspection team conducted raids in commercial areas and issued six warnings to shopkeepers for violations of the Single-Use Plastics (Prohibition) Regulations.
