  • How much plastic waste is produced in Tanzania?
  • Per capita plastic waste generation is around 5.6 kg/year which is lower than the world average of 29 kg/year. It is estimated that only 40% of the plastic waste is collected. 4% of the plastic waste is collected for recycling. Because there are no sanitary landfill and incineration facilities, there is no proper disposal of waste in Tanzania.
  • Why does plastic waste leak in Tanzania?
  • Plastic waste leaks in Tanzania because there is no proper disposal of waste in either sanitary landfills or incineration facilities, hence all collected waste that is not recycled accumulates in dumpsites. Low collection rates across the country reduce the amount of waste available to recyclers and increase leakage.
  • Which polymer has the highest waste generation in Tanzania?
  • PP is the top polymer by absolute leakage with 7.1 kt. It is the polymer with the highest waste generation. There is only 1 tonne of PP that is collected for recycling, which corresponds to around 1% of the plastic waste generated. As a consequence, since there is no proper disposal of waste in Tanzania, 99% of PP is mismanaged.
  • How can we improve plastic consumption in Tanzania?
  • Conduct waste generation characterisation studies at household level in additional cities and rural areas. Identify touristic hubs in the country and carry out surveys to better understand plastic consumption patterns of tourists. The average collection rate in Tanzania is 40%.
  • What is the value of recycled plastics for waste pickers in Tanzania?
  • Value of recycled plastics for waste pickers seems higher than in some other African countries. Due to the absence of sanitary landfills and incinerators, there is no proper disposal of waste in Tanzania. Burning of waste is a widespread practice in Tanzania. Plastic recycling is not well understood and could not be properly assessed.
  • Why is there no sanitary landfill in Tanzania?
  • Because there are no sanitary landfill and incineration facilities, there is no proper disposal of waste in Tanzania. 96% of the plastic waste is mismanaged and can potentially leak to the oceans, rivers and lakes of Tanzania. 29 thousand tonnes of plastic leaked to ocean, rivers and lakes in 2018. That is around 9% of the waste generated.
