These regulations include restrictions on manufacture, distribution, use, and trade of plastic bags, taxation and levies, and postuse disposal. The UNEP has said the regulations vary considerably in their comprehensiveness, but the most common form is the restriction on free retail distribution.</ins></div></td></tr>
