Hey mate here is ur answer....
It make centuries for plastics to degrade into soil and plastic littering is harmful to almost all living beings. Government banned the usage of low density carry bags which are not recyclable. N.G.O's , Government and the people follow the 4R principle[reduce, recycle, reuse, recover].
The solid waste should be converted into resources such as electricity , heat , compost and fuel through thermal and biological means.. Article 48A instructs our government to take steps to protect environment...
HOPE IT HELPS ☺️

hi
here is the answer..
the Union government notified the Recycled Plastics Manufacture and Usage Rules, 1999, in September last year. They were supposed to do away with the menace of plastics. But a year down the line, it is evident that the rules have fallen flat. In fact, they may have abetted the growth of plastic trade in India.
The government of Sikkim had banned plastic bags way back in 1998 after the demise of 27 people in a landslide caused by dumped plastic bags. Other states too have come up with their own regulations and rules to restrict or ban the use of plastics and plastic bags. These include Goa and Maharashtra (see box:Goa and Mumbai: choking the bag) and Himachal Pradesh. In the state of Delhi a bill on the issue has been pending approval from the assembly for quite some time now. Evidently, a plethora of laws and regulations do not go into ensuring a clean environment. Especially when they have been made with a muddled perspective. Ravi Agarwal, director of, Shrishti, a Delhi based non-government organisation ( ngo) says, "The rules are without rationale."
The Union ministry for environment and forests ( moef) had set up a National Plastic Waste Management Task Force ( npwmtf ) to 'formulate a strategy and action programme for the management of plastic waste'. The task force was chaired by the Central Pollution Control Board ( cpcb ) chairperson and had representatives from the municipal corporation of Delhi, the moef , Confederation of Indian Industries, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry and the plastic industry. No ngo was invited to participate. The task force submitted its report in 1997. The government made its rules, supposedly, on the basis of recommendations of the task force.
The central government notification included rules on two important issues, besides others:
• The minimum thickness of all carry bags made of virgin or recycled plastic bags will have to be more than 20 microns and
• No vendor shall use carry bags or containers made of recycled plastics for storing, dispensing or packaging of foodstuffs.
