Tanzania

Travelers to Tanzania will no longer be allowed to bring plastic carrier bags into the country as of June 1, according to a government statement. Authorities will set up a check-in area at points of entry to confiscate plastic bags, the announcement notes, and the only exceptions made will be for Ziploc bags used to carry personal items. 
“All plastic carrier bags, regardless of their thickness, will be prohibited from being imported, exported, manufactured, sold, stored, supplied, and used in mainland Tanzania,” January Makamba, the country’s environment minister, posted in a statement on Twitter.
