China News Agency, Kathmandu, August 20 (reporter Zhang Chenyi) - Nepal's Khumbu region recently issued a policy: from January 1, 2020, some areas of Khumbu will prohibit the use of plastic products with thickness of 30 microns and below, so as to improve the ecological environment of the region.

The south slope of Mount Qomolangma, the world's highest peak, is in the kunbu region.The policy was launched because plastic products have negative effects on local climate change, ecological environment and residents' health. In addition, about 50000 tourists visit kunbu every year. If plastic products are not controlled, more negative effects will be produced.

According to the policy, plastic bottles, bags and other products with a thickness of 30 microns or less will be banned, while products with a thickness of more than 30 microns can continue to be used.For the convenience of local residents, the government will provide residents with five kinds of plastic bags that meet the requirements, so as to give them time to dispose of non-conforming plastic products and use compliant plastic products when the new regulations are implemented.

It is reported that similar bans were introduced 20 years ago, but for various reasons, they were not effectively implemented.
