The Hon. Minister of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives, @SanjayTanna444, in collaboration with @newsUMA is meeting with the plastics sector to discuss key industry priorities and the future of Uganda’s plastics sector.

Discussions are focusing on improving the quality of locally manufactured plastic products, expanding into export markets, clarifying definitions of single-use plastics, strengthening recycling initiatives and promoting private-sector self-regulation to address plastic waste.
Stakeholders were encouraged to explore opportunities to link the plastics industry to the growing oil and gas sector. They were also encouraged to use alternative sources of energy other than electricity.

The engagement seeks to strengthen the industry’s competitiveness, promote responsible manufacturing and support sustainable industrial growth.

@newsUMA in collaboration with @URAuganda and @mofpedU is hosting a stakeholder engagement on the taxation of single-use plastics.

The meeting brings together key sector players in the plastics value chain to:
📌 Clarify how the tax framework works, including who is covered and how it applies.
📌 Discuss its impact on production costs, pricing, jobs and competitiveness.
📌 Share industry concerns and practical proposals with regulators.
📌 Strengthen voluntary compliance through clear guidance and open dialogue.

The aim is a tax regime that discourages harmful plastic waste while supporting a growing, sustainable and compliant plastics industry.
Constructive engagement between government and industry leads to policies that work for businesses, the economy and the environment.
