15 Oct 2021 --- Cameroonian authorities have intercepted a smuggling operation attempting to bring illegal non-biodegradable plastics into the country. Greenpeace Africa highlights the incident as an example of corruption impeding efforts to improve environmental sustainability in packaging. In 2012, Cameroon issued a decision banning non-biodegradable plastic packaging of fewer than 60 microns to combat plastic bag pollution, which came into force in April 2014.
