Plastic bag makers have to submit proof that their products are biodegradable.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection will allocate the stimulation funds for the re-use, recycling or the production of energy from waste tires and rubber, waste oil (not including waste cooking oil), waste starters, vehicle batteries, industrial batteries and accumulators, transportable batteries or starters and for the production of re-usable plastic bags with or without biodegradable components and for the re-use, recycling and use of waste electrical and electronic equipment as secondary raw materials.
