PLASTICS KNOW NO BORDERS

Together with ALN, UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and The SMEP Programme, we’ve published a comprehensive analysis of the plastic policies in all 8 East African countries, as well as recommendations for strengthening regulations to foster innovation and sustainable inter-regional trade through a harmonised legislative framework.

that’s why we’re calling for regional action

7/8 East African Community member states have in place legislation against certain single-use plastics.

Together with Africa’s largest legal alliance, ALN, we’ve drafted a single-use plastics bill that extends the ban to the sale and production of certain destructive, unnecessary and easily replaceable single-use plastics.

Legislators from 7 EAC countries, the Queen of Buganda Kingdom and more than 16,000 people have joined our call to action. Now, we’re calling on you to make your voice count towards protecting our citizens and biodiversity from plastic pollution.
