I agree with the decision to ban any form of plastic. But i don't know how could be enforced. I heard Eritrea banned plastic few years ago but I see plastic water bottles. Do you think it is possible? Then what would be the alternative though.

The ban is to tackle the impacts of pollution caused by single-use plastic carrier bags and it's not meant to ban everything that's made from a type of plastic, which would include a staggering number of things, including condoms.
