With the eminent ban of paper bags for packaging are there opportunities one can seize before Kenyans realize it and at least make some cash b4 the field gets flooded?

The supermarket guys are cartels. Whatever alternative will come up it will be supplied by the same cartels.

Think mama mboga, the butcher, the chips cafes, the small shops (sugar e.t.c). That's where the disruption will occur and only the early bird will cash in.

If I remember correctly,when Uchumi was the 'only' supermarket,they used to package purchases in paper bags..
mama mboga may have to resort to newspapers till something better comes up?

I always wonder, what's more damaging to the environment between mass producing manila paper bags and nylon paper bags? Manila is biodegradable but we'll have to fell many trees while nylon we know all about. So what's less damaging to the environment?

BBI will solve it :)

We can regrow trees at a higher rate than we cut them.

We can even recycle the newspapers, ma cartons and shredded papers that companies throw away. I don't know why this idea keeps lingering on my mind.
