now a days plastic is banned in some states of India explain
Answers
New Delhi: In a few hours from now, India will host the 45th World Environment Day 2018 celebrations, with the theme of ‘Beat Plastic Pollution’. Reverberating UN Environment’s call to ditch plastic and increase awareness on the adverse effects of plastic pollution, India will look to send a strong message to the world on steps being taken to deal with plastic pollution. The battle against plastic waste in India is embroiled in a cruel irony, as despite 25 Indian states and union territories imposing some sort of ban on plastic, over 25,000 tonnes of plastic waste are generated in India daily, of which more than half (nearly 16,500 tonnes) is made up of plastic bags. Similar to the country’s geography and culture, the effectiveness of banning plastics in India has varied from region to region.
The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) estimates that in 2016-17 plastic industry in India was worth nearly $7 billion (Rs 48,000 crore). Despite the partial and complete bans on plastic across many states, the industry has grown over the years, as consumption of plastic has also risen. Not just plastic bags, but plastic used in packaging has also increased over the years, as the demand for packaged goods has risen. The Central Pollution Control Board states that in 1996, plastic consumption in India was 61,000 tonnes, which rose to 3 lakh in 2000 and by 193 percent in next 10 years to be 178 lakh in 2017.
