Ban on plastic bags in Kenya

As of 28 August, 2017, The Kenya Government enforced a BAN on the USE, MANUFACTURE AND IMPORTATION OF PLASTIC BAGS. The ban applies to all plastic carrier bags and flat bags used for commercial and household packaging.

According to National Environment Management Authority (NEMA): Category 4: Duty Free shop bags: Bags issued at Duty free shops at airports are exempted due to the ICAO and IATA Rules and Regulations. However, any traveller coming into Kenya with duty free bags shall be required to leave the same at the point of entry. The Kenya Airports Authority(KAA) has now strategically placed bins at entry points of Jomo Kenyatta Airport(JKIA) and Moi International Airport , for visitors to drop off any plastics bags they might have travelled with.

Kenyans and all visitors are expected to carry their hoods in biodegradable bags as the penalty for anyone found in possession of plastic bags is hefty.
