Within the African continent, at least 34 countries have banned various forms of single-use plastics and packaging 99% of which are made from the fossil fuels that drive climate change. Rwanda pioneered these efforts in 2008 with a ban on one-way plastic bags and bottles, and the clean streets of the capital Kigali are the barometer of success across the region.
But some experts caution that piecemeal bans should only be part of a broader shift away from 'throwaway culture' and that toxic plastic need to 'phased-down' to stop as widely predicted plastic production tripling by 2050.
