Egypt faces significant environmental challenges due to the widespread use of SUPBs, which contribute to pollution in waterways, marine environments, and landfills. The country's plastic bag consumption was approximately 14 billion in 2019, highlighting the urgent need for intervention. The plan draws on lessons from international experiences, particularly in Europe, to implement effective measures that support a circular economy and reduce reliance on SUPBs. Key areas of focus include raising awareness about the environmental hazards of plastic bags, promoting eco-friendly alternatives, and fostering behavioral change across various sectors.
