LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT TO BAN SACHET WATER (pure water), PET BOTTLE (plastic drinks).

The Lagos State Government has said plans are afoot to phase out the use of PET bottles and sachet that are used for packaging potable water.
Lagos State Environment protection Agency (LASEPA) General Manager Rasheed Shabi dropped the hint at the celebration of this year’s World Environment Day (WED), organized by the agency, saying that PET bottles and sachets may be banned in the next six months.
“The use of PET bottles and nylon bags, including the sachets, will be phased out in the state before the end of this year because we have discovered that not only do these products block the drainages and water channels, we have also seen that they are not easily degradable and are poisonous to the earth,”Shabi said.
