We commend the Government and Minister Jache Adams for bringing forward this important piece of legislation.
It marks a meaningful step toward addressing one of Bermuda’s most visible and persistent environmental challenges. The reality is that the vast majority of litter found in Bermuda, and indeed around the world, is single-use plastic, and we see that reflected every day in the work we do.
We look forward to seeing the first items added to the schedule as soon as possible and to participating in the consultation process to help ensure the legislation delivers real and lasting impact.
I would like to recognise the incredible commitment of the Beyond Plastic Bermuda campaign team, who have contributed more than 10,000 hours over the past five years to education, advocacy, and community engagement. We are deeply grateful to Bacardi for their early support of the campaign, which helped make this progress possible.
As we enter this next phase, we are inviting businesses to be part of the solution by joining our Beyond Plastic Champions programme. We also welcome new sponsors to support this work as we expand our outreach and help Bermuda transition away from single-use plastics.
For those who want to see the impact first-hand, we encourage the community to join a KBB clean-up. Spending even an hour collecting litter makes it clear just how much of it is single-use plastic and why change is so urgently needed.
This is a moment for collective action, and we encourage everyone, the government, businesses, and the community to play their part.
