Ua hoʻolauna ʻo Tanzania i ka hana mua o ka pāpā ʻeke ʻeke i ka makahiki 2017, ka mea i pāpā i ka hana ʻana a me ka "hoʻolaha kūloko" o nā ʻeke plastik o kēlā me kēia ʻano. ʻO ka papa ʻelua, e hoʻomaka ʻia ʻo Iune 1, kaohi i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻeke plastik no nā mākaʻikaʻi.
Ma kahi ʻōlelo i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma Mei 16, ua hoʻonui ke aupuni Tanzania i ka pāpā mua e hoʻokomo i nā mākaʻikaʻi, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana "e koho ʻia kahi counter kūikawā ma nā wahi āpau e hoʻokuʻu ai i nā ʻeke plastik a nā malihini e lawe mai i Tanzania." ʻO nā ʻeke "ziploc" i hoʻohana ʻia no ka lawe ʻana i nā hale lole ma o ka palekana o ke kahua mokulele e hoʻokuʻu ʻia mai ka pāpā inā e lawe hou nā huakaʻi iā lākou i ka home.

Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole i noʻonoʻo ke aupuni i nā mea ʻē aʻe, i alakaʻi ai i nā "cartels plastik" i komo i ka lawe ʻana i nā ʻeke plastik mai nā ʻāina e pili ana. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole i hilinaʻi ʻia ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka pāpā.
