๐ Easy Explanation
๐ Background
Concerns over oil import disruptions have grown due to the recent US-Iran war. Since garbage bags are made from petroleum, some people started hoarding them out of fear of a shortage.
๐ Key Points
President Lee Jae-myung checked the inventory of garbage bags. He ordered that if oil import issues make production difficult, recycled materials should be used to make the bags.
๐ก Why It Matters
There is no need to worry about an immediate shortage. The government confirmed that there is an ample nationwide inventory lasting more than three months on average.
๐ฎ What's Next
Even if the war prolongs, countermeasures are being prepared to produce bags using recycled materials, so you can just buy them as needed like usual.
