Kuwait eyes ban on plastic bags by 2020 – Clampdown on sellers of tainted products | Kuwait Times.

Lets hope they make the right choice and do indeed specify biodegradable bags and not do what UAE did and allows degradable bags.  Biodegradable bags get broken down by microorganisms into humus.   Which means they need to be disposed to a microorganism rich environment.       Degradable bags however undergo a chemical reaction to fragment into lots of little peices of plastic.  Nothing to do with biological reactions.
