Due to absence of plastic recycling unit in the Gondar city or in nearby areas, there is no practice of
collecting and selling these products to junk dealers. Use of reusable bags made of cloths, jute and
other natural fibers must be encouraged. In order to save the life of animals, residents should not
pack and throw the food items in plastic bags. The cattle owners may be advised not to allow their
cattle to freely wander in streets especially in the cities. They should see that the grazing lands are
not polluted with the polythene and other wastes. Awareness may be created on careless disposal of
plastic bags and as well as the periodical cleaning of these wastes in the grazing area.
