View the policy documentThis campaign aim was to reduce the use of new plastic bags. The Plastic Bag Diet includes many sub-campaigns such as Plastic Tourism, Plastic Robber, Plastic free Parade, and Pay4plastic. It has made some progress on providing education, instigating better legislation, and building cooperation between plastic producers and other stakeholders (Li and Patton, 2021). The Indonesian government followed this campaign by introducing legislation but this was never implemented due to opposition.
