Only nine percent of the 9 billion tons of plastic waste over the world is being recycled at the moment, said the African regional director of the United Nations Environment Programme on September 22, stressing the need to develop an action programme geared to forbidding all countries to use plastic goods.

Twenty countries have imposed a ban on the use of disposable plastic products in Africa, he said, adding international cooperation should be strengthened in order to reduce the increasing amount of plastic waste.
