Yaoundé, Cameroon (PANA) – Cameroonian Environment, Nature Protection and Sustainable Development Minister Hélé Pierre Saturday directed manufacturers, sellers and users of non-biodegradable plastic bags to stop using the product by 31 March 2014.
The directive follows the sensitization campaign against the use of non-biodegradable plastic bags launched in the country in August 2013.
The Minister said the production of degradable plastic bags can still be done in the same facilities used for non-biodegradable plastic bags, if only the manufacturers would add one additive to make the plastic degradable.
