#MakingCitiesPlasticFree
Single use disposable items made of Polystyrene like dish, spoon, disposable bowls used for packing food, compostable plastic bags except for plant nurseries, less than 200 mlwater PET bottles, plastic mineral water pouch are the most harmful kind of plastics & have been banned.
Recyclable plastic stationery, plastic material with more than 50 micron thickness used to seal groceries, paper based carton packaging, virgin plastic bags, & plastic items used for household purpose, recyclable multilayered plastic are some plastic items that can be used.
Thermocol boxes to preserve fish, PET bottles of 200 ml & more capacity, manufacturing of plastic & plastic bags for export in SEZs, plastic material made of minimum 20% recyclable plastic material with a thickness of more than 50 micron can be used by citizens & industries.
Such illustrative presentations should be used by all Urban Local Bodies, on-board all kinds of stakeholders in discouraging use of Single Use Plastics in our lives. That will be our contribution to #SwachhataHiSewa launched by Hon’bl PM to eradicate its menace to our environment
