Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican government will ban the use of plastic bags by 2024, aiming to guarantee a better solid waste management in the country, said the Minister of Land and Environment Ivete Maibaze on Monday.<\/p>\n

The policy making process should have started in 2020 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the minister who was speaking at a seminar on the socioeconomic impact of the banning of plastic bags in Maputo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe plastic bag problem cannot be seen as an urban sanitation management issue faced only by Municipal Councils and local governments. It impacts the lives of every citizen, directly and indirectly by contributing to a large extent of inadequate sanitation, creating conditions for the emergence of diseases and threatening biodiversity,\u201d said Maibaze.<\/p>\n

The minister said proposal for a regulation on the banning of plastic is already being heard and the country will align itself with the international and national commitments that the government has made through her ministry.<\/p>\n

The banning practice is also coordinated by the country\u2019s private sector, non-governmental organizations, and partners, and is embodied in sustainable development projects and the government\u2019s five-year program 2020-2024, said Maibaze.<\/p>\n

In Mozambique, the solid waste rate stands at 30 percent, with a part being recycled and the rest deposited in the open, which includes 17,000 tonnes of plastic waste deposited in rivers and oceans.<\/p>\n
