plastic: But a backlash amongst business leaders and policy makers forced the government to abandon the plan and instead propose a new law that would force plastic manufacturers to make biodegradable plastics, according to Deutsche Welle. The move makes Ghana one of the few countries to commercialize oxo-biodegradable plastics, as they are known. The problem is so urgent that the country's government announced plans to impose a partial ban on light plastics in mid-2015. Still, most industries are refusing to comply with the new standards. As a result, the plastic problem persists. Save a few businesses such as Ghanaian water firm Special Ice, a majority are still selling water in standard plastic, for instance.
