SENEGAL: Customs seize 25 tonnes of plastic waste from Germany

While Senegal is still trying to improve the management of its daily production of plastic waste estimated at 200,000 tons, the customs have just seized a container of 25 tons of plastic waste from Germany. In addition to the re-export of the cargo, the company Hapag-Lloyd, which was responsible for this offence, will pay a fine of 2 billion CFA francs (about 305 million euros).
