CAR switches to packages made of biodegradable materials
In the Central African Republic, local businessmen have organized the production of biodegradable bags from the wood of banana trees, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic packaging.
The country introduced a ban on plastic bags back in 2020, but they still continue to dominate the market, reducing demand for biodegradable paper products, which cost more.
To solve the problem, the authorities plan to increase fines and increase the production of environmentally friendly packaging, which will make it cheaper.
