Kathmandu: Nepal’s hotel industry on Wednesday announced that it would stop using single-use plastics from December 2024 as a measure to protect the environment and promote a green economy in the Himalayan country.
Products such as water bottles, drinking straws, plastic plates, drink-stirrers, toothbrushes, and combs would not be available in hotel rooms from late 2024, the Hotel Association of Nepal said in a presentation over the initiative.
