Lawmaker welcomes senator’s bill banning plastics
April 9, 2011
ANGELES CITY — Pampanga first district Congressman Carmelo Lazatin welcomed a Senate bill banning the use and manufacture of plastics nationwide as a move to save and protect the environment.
Lazatin said the bill filed by Senator Loren Legarda would complement his previous bill designed to ban “harmful plastics.”
The two-term lawmaker filed House Bill 3939, or “an act banning the manufacture, distribution, and sale of ultra-thin polypropylene plastic bagging materials.”
Lazatin said he asked for the ban of plastics in his bill he filed last January 11. But he clarified that his bill would not ban the manufacture and use of recyclable plastics.
Legarda, chair of the Senate committee on climate change, filed Senate Bill 2759 of the Total Plastic Bag Ban Act of 2011, which prohibits groceries, supermarkets, public markets, restaurants, fast food chains, department stores, retail stores and other similar establishments from using non-biodegradable plastic bags.
“The Senate bill of Loren is most welcome. When my bill is approved in the Lower House (House of Representatives), it will breeze past the Senate because of the lady senator’s bill supporting the ban on plastics,” said Lazatin.
The lawmaker even cited the growing population in the country and destruction of many habitats and worsening pollution in many countries.
“We must end many destructive activities to the environment and begin to collectively address the problem about the issue on the use of harmful plastics,” he said.
Lazatin admitted that it’s “still a long process” before they can save the environment as many communities still practice destructive activities.
“One of the big issues that should be resolved is the proliferation of ultra-thin polypropylene plastic material used as packaging or bagging material in our market,” Lazatin said.
“Worse, the plastic poses threat to marine life, birds and other mammals according to studies. Discarded plastic bags like polypropylene material also contributed heavily for blocking drainages and worsen floodings,” he added.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency, in a report, said that about 500 billion to one trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year.
In the House bill, Lazatin said the Department of Environment and Natural Resources will be tasked to formulate within 90 days upon the approval of the act implementing rules and regulations and assist industries and establishment on how to comply with the act.
Lazatin proposed penalties ranging from P5,000 to P20,000 and 30 days imprisonment for violators.
