Hairdressers, salons, massage parlours and spas across Bahrain could soon be required to use special disposable bins or bags for hazardous waste, including razor blades, single-use towels, threads and blood-contaminated items.
The proposal has been submitted by five MPs led by Strategic Thinking Bloc president Ahmed Al Salloom, who is also chairman of Parliament’s financial and economic affairs committee, amid growing concerns that dangerous waste from the beauty and personal care industry is being disposed of as normal domestic rubbish .
