Plastic has caused an environmental epidemic in most of Africa. Most single-use plastic items, such as disposable water bottles, cutlery, non-woven carrier bags end up in landfills leaving enormous environmental damage across the countries. Travelers are therefore urged against carrying any of these materials including duty-free plastic shopping bags, which shall be required to be surrendered at the points of entry. The ban is part of the collective commitment to control environmental pollution.
