(Business in Cameroon) - Despite repeated visits by monitoring teams from the Ministry of Environment and the Protection of Nature to major department stores, non-biodegradable plastic packaging, which has been forbidden since April 1, 2014 to protect the environment, are still visible. In large cities, large shipments are still in circulation.

This is why, in 2015, according to official sources, the Ministry of Environment plans to intensify monitoring and fines against those found to be non-compliant. The goal is to put an end to the usage of plastic bags or at least to go beyond the 334 tonnes of plastic bags seized in Cameroon since April 2014, revealed Enoh Peter Ayuk, Director of Standards at the Ministry of Environment.
