Kenya and Uganda ban plastic bags
In an effort to curb environmental damage, the African countries of Kenya and Uganda have followed their neighbours in Rwanda and Tanzania’s by placing a ban on thin plastic bags, and introduced a 120% tax on thick bags.
In 2005, Rwanda banned plastics that are less than 100 microns thick and Tanzania announced a total ban on plastic bags in 2006.
While the ban in Kenya will start on Friday the 15th of June, Uganda’s ban will be initiated on the 1st of July.
