Haiti - Environment : Styrofoam biodegradable products, from 1 October 2012 24/09/2012 15:12:37 "[...] on 1 October, the Ministry of the Environment, following a presidential decree banned the importation of plate [among others] in styrofoam and plastic black [...] after several consultations with importers of these products, we arrived at a solution where they agreed to order products in biodegradable styrofoam. This means that after 30 days in contact with water, these products in biodegradable styrofoam, will disappear and will no longer float over the water, as I have seen it, when we go to La Gonâve, where a real slick of plates and styrofoam cups had invaded our sea and coastline too... This pollution that has a lifespan of 400 years, has overflowed Haiti and carried by ocean currents, these products can be found in Jamaica and up to Colombia... Even in Colombia, these products will continue their travel..." HL/ HaitiLibre
