Question

Alternative industries after plastic ban in india

Answer 1

Explanation:

Single-use plastics are often referred to as disposal plastics (read that as products that are meant to withstand a single-use like a sachet). These are used for packaging and include items intended for use only once. The European Union, for instance, describes 'single-use plastics' as plastics as products made of plastic such as cotton-bud sticks, cutlery, plates, straws, sticks for balloons, cups, food, beverage containers made of polystyrene and products made of oxo-degradable plastic, etc.

Industry gives a different definition. "We consider 100 per cent recyclable material with thickness greater than 50 microns and a minimum 20% recycled content as non-single use plastic," says an Amazon India spokesperson. That implies plastic below 50 microns with less than 20 per cent recycled content makes for single-use plastic.

Answer 2

Alternative industries that could Grow after ban of single of use plastic are :-

• Paper Bag making factories Would be at rise as single use plastic is banned hence people would prefer paper bags as an alternative.
• Jute bag making industries would be at rise because jute bags are inexpensive, Stronger, Durable and most important they are easily biodegradable in nature.
• Earthen pot industries would be at rise because they are foremost alternative to plastic cups
• Canvas bag making industries would be at rise as canvas bags are made of cotton hence they are durable and ecofriendly.

These are some industries of which could rise due to ban of single use plastic in India.

Hope it helps.
