Update

"The Jakarta administration has withdrawn from the national policy requiring stores to charge for plastic shopping bags that was issued by the Environment and Forestry Ministry just last week.The policy was issued by Minister Siti Nurbaya on National Waste Awareness Day through a circular and stipulates that retailers must not give plastic bags to customers for free, but must charge at leastRp 200 1 US cent for each. The Jakarta administration will instead enforce a 2013 bylaw on waste management, which Governor Basuki Ahok Tjahaja said was sufficient for reducing plastic bag waste." - The Jakarta PostFor More Info: http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2016/02/25/jakarta-withdraws-plastic-bag-charge-program.html
