EAC Report on Single-Use Plastics
In 2022, Sustainable Inclusive Business, The Flipflopi Project, and ALN Kenya launched a report uncovering the need to adopt streamlined legislation to manage plastic pollution throughout the East African Community (EAC). The report is dubbed; ‘East Africans: Let’s Unite for Change’. The goal of the report is to promote a better understanding of existing Single-Use Plastics (SUPs) regulations and lay the groundwork for the adoption of streamlined legislation and collaborative action within the EAC to regulate plastics production, support waste management, and eliminate unnecessary SUPs at a regional level. The report outlines the current state of affairs of the policies, regulations, and laws that address the harmful effects of SUPs in East Africa. The report highlights the EAC’s existing efforts to combat plastic pollution and was timely in its release as it came before the fifth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA 5.2). The assembly in Nairobi from February 28th to March 3rd, 2022 provided a unique opportunity for governments to commit to establishing a UN global treaty on plastic pollution that the world has been calling for.
