Download Do bans on plastic bags really work?
The United Nations says that among all sources of pollution and waste, plastic occupies the very top. But because its cheap to produce and is also very durable, plastic remains attractive for industries. Many African countries however remain dedicated to eliminating this waste and to date 16 countries on the continent have banned plastic bags. At times imposing very harsh laws. In the next edition of Africa Daily Alan Kasujja looks at whether these laws work.
