Bali, Indonesia, has banned the production and distribution of plastic water containers smaller than one liter. While environmentalists applaud the ban, they also call for local waste management infrastructure investments and bottle refill stations. Signed by governor Wayan Koster and announced through a formal circular memorandum, the order targets plastic cups, half-liter water bottles, and other small single-use water containers. The ban applies across six sectors: government offices, traditional villages, private businesses, hospitality, education, markets, and religious institutions.
