The government has paid attention to banning washing powder packages since it adversely affects the environment.

Director General of Central Environment Authority (CEA) Hemantha Jayasinghe said that although the use of 20 gram and 20 ml washing powder packages is prohibited, the use of 250 gram, 500 gram and 1 kilo packages has a severe impact on the environment.

Accordingly, the CEA has paid attention to the measures that can be taken to reduce the use of these types of single-use polythene.

Environmentalists said that excessive disposal of washing powder packages into water sources is causing great damage to the environment.
