Kenya Bans All Single Use Plastics in Protected Areas!

Nearly 3 years after Kenya’s monumental ban on plastic bags, Kenya’s ban on the use of single-use plastics in national parks, forests, beaches, and conservation areas has taken effect.

The ban prohibits visitors from carrying plastic water bottles, disposable plates and cups, cutlery, and straws into protected areas, with the aim of curbing the growing plastic pollution.

“The preservation of our environment is tied to our well being and the well being of future generations. This ban is yet another first in addressing the plastic pollution catastrophe facing Kenya and the world, and we hope that it catalyses similar policies and actions from the East African community.” Said Najib Balala, Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife.
