Kenya is set to roll out a raft of incentives to encourage investors to produce alternative packaging materials after the High Court declined to suspend the plastics ban which takes effect Monday.

Industrialists, women and youth groups will get an array of regulatory and tax incentives to produce the eco-friendly packaging materials as polythene bags disappear from retail outlets, officials said.
