The Thai Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation said the ban was necessary to protect ecology.

Waters off the coast of Thailand are choked with pollution and the coronavirus pandemic has brought a surge in plastic waste as demand for takeaway food grows.

The new regulations came into force Wednesday after they were published in the Royal Gazette a day earlier. Greenpeace Thailand says plastic waste is a threat to the country's wildlife including its elephant population. Digesting plastic can block animals' intestines and disrupt the digestive system.
