BAN ON SINGLE USE PLASTIC

24th SEPTEMBER, 2019

WHAT IS PLASTIC?

• Ubiquitous material.
• Contains

high polymer such as polyethylene terephthalate, high density polyethylene, Vinyl, low density polyethylene, Polypropylene, polystyrene resins, multi-materials like acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polyphenylene oxide, polycarbonate, polybutylene terephthalate.

SINGLE USE PLASTICS

• Referred as disposable plastics(use- and- throw

items).

• Used only once before they are thrown away
• r recycled.
• Commonly used for plastic packaging.
• Includes carry bags, food packaging, bottles,

straws, containers, cups and cutlery

PWM Rules,2016

• MOEF&CC

notified PWM Rules,2016(henceforth rules),in March2016.

• The Rules make source segregation of various types of

waste mandatory.

• Ambition is to follow waste -to -wealth pathway via-

recovery, reuse & recycle.

• Also introduced Extended Producer Responsibilty, as

an Environment policy instrument.

• And assign the physical, financial and environmental

responsibilty to producers, brand-owners & importers

• f plastic.

APPLICABLE TO

• Every waste generator
• Local Body
• Gram Panchayat
• Manufacturer
• Importer
• Producer
• Institutional Waste Generator (Central/State Govt.

Departments, Public/Private Sector companies,hospitals,schools,colleges,universities, hotels,restraunts,malls and shopping Complexes)

PRESENT SCENARIO OF INDIA

• CPCB conducted a study in 60 major cities of

India(2012),wherein reported 4059 Ton of plastic waste generation each day from these cities

• Average plastic waste generation contributes to

6.92% of MSW.

• Per capita plastic waste generation per annum in

India is 9.46 million tons (Approx 25,940T/day).

• Only 60% of the total plastic waste is being

recycled.

WHY BAN ON SINGLE USE PLASTICS?

• Most of plastic ends up in landfills, Oceans and

waterways.

• Choking of drainage and river systems.
• Ingestion by stray animals choke &block animals

stomachs.

• Soil and water pollution.
• Open air burning.
• Toxic chemicals get transferred to animal tissue,

eventually entering the human food chain.

• Damages nervous system, lungs and reproductive

system.

WHY BAN ON SINGLE USE PLASTICS?

• Affects

at least 267 species worldwide, including 86% of all sea turtle species, 44% of all seabird species, and 43% of all marine mammal species.

• Significant amount of toxic heavy metals like

copper, zinc, lead and cadmium recovered from plastic wastes from sea shores have an adverse effect on the coastal ecosystems.

WHY BAN ON SINGLE USE PLASTICS?

• Lead and Cadmium pigments, commonly used

in most of the plastics as additives are hazardous in nature and are known to leach

• ut.
• Several GHG

are emitted from the landfills. Among them, carbon dioxide and methane constitute 90 to 98%

EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILTY

• Responsibility
• f

a producer for the environmentally sound management

• f

the product until the end of its life.

• Under Rule-9 of PWM Rules, 2016 the producers

shall work out modalities for waste collection system based on EPR working in consonance with State Urban Development Departments/ULBs.

EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILTY

• Primary responsibility of producers, importers

and brand-owners is to collect multilayered plastic sachet or pouches who introduced the products in market.

• Need to establish a system to collect back the

plastic waste

• Submit a plan of collection to concerned SPCB

while applying for CTE/CTO.

GUIDELINES FOR MINIMIZING SINGLE USE PLASTICS

• 1. Improvements of waste management system

i. State/UTs may invest heavily in improving source segregation of waste.

• ii. Waste collection and transportation should also

be standarized.

• iii. The focus should also be placed on improving

collection and transportation infrastructure and ensuring segregated waste is collected.

• iv. The States/UTs shall endeavour to promote and

encourage identification and use of plastic alternatives products.

GUIDELINES FOR MINIMIZING SINGLE USED PLASTICS

2.Legal Option for phasing out of Single –Use Plastic Introduce a prohibitive action on single-use plastic products may identify a clear list of products that need to be targeted through this measure so that no ambiguity. The product may include: i. Plastic carry bags with & without handles, irrespective of thickness and size. ii. Thermocol (Polystyrene) disposable cutlery including cups/glass, bowls, glasses, forks, spoons, containers, straws etc. used for serving eatables/drinks

• iii. And other decorative made of Styrofoam.

GUIDELINES FOR MINIMIZING SINGLE USED PLASTICS

3.Key role of State/UT Govt. in promotion of Eco- friendly alternatives i. Projects which support upscaling or recycling of single –use plastic items and promote small scale or micro enterprises, should be encouraged. ii. MOEF&CC through a Central sector scheme titled “ Creation of Management Structure for Hazardous Substances”provides financial assistance for innovative technologies and novel tratment options for different waste streams

GUIDELINES FOR MINIMIZING SINGLE USED PLASTICS

• 4. Key role of State/UT Govt. in Social

Awareness and public education

i. Awareness /sensitization campiagns should be

• rganized

throughout the State/UT through TV/Radio etc. to discourage the single use plastic.

• ii. All events organized by or sponsered by the
• Govt. shall be single-use plastic free.
• iii. Governments should try to invite eminent

public personalities to serve as brand ambassadors to discourage single use plastic.

GUIDELINES FOR MINIMIZING SINGLE USED PLASTICS

• iv. Awareness in hotspots of plastic usage

including tourist spots, religious spots, beaches, pilgrimage sites, school colleges.

• v. Particular Attention should be focused on

students and young adults to inculcate a behavioural change in plastic usage.
