National strategy to combat plastic pollution

The issue of plastic waste pollution is nowadays a major concern at all scalar levels: global,
national and local. During the last two decades, plastic packaging has been increasingly used
by people because it is easy to handle and has multi-purpose uses. It is in this wake that the
Ministry of Environment, Protection of Nature and Sustainable Development (MINEPDED)

has set up a legal arsenal to combat pollution in general and the proliferation of noncompliant
plastic packaging.
Given the specificity of the issue to be addressed, the Government has initiated the
development of the national strategy to combat plastic pollution.
