Govt bets on local firms to phase out single-use plastics, smoothly
Most of the single use plastic materials such as plastic bags, straws, coffee stirrers, plates and cups have alternatives.
The Minister for Environment, Dr Vincent Biruta, addresses members of the parliamentary Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Environment as Coletha Ruhamya, the Director General of REMA, looks on in Kigali yesterday. The Government has pinned its hopes on five local firms that produce non-plastic products and seven companies that recycle plastics to phase out the use of single use plastic materials without significant disruptions.
