Nagpur: National ban for the use of single plastic items will be proven to be a big boon for Maharashtra, the first country in the country to implement a ban in 2018, experts said.
The state has banned the manufacture, use, sales, distribution, and storage of plastic items.
It’s been more than three years since restrictions fall into place but it cannot be fully implemented.
Although attacks are carried out by local authorities, items that are prohibited continue to be open openly in many regions.
Maharashtra pollution control board officials (MPCB) said illegal entries from illegal places from other countries, especially Gujarat and Chhattisgarh have become a big barrier in implementing effective prohibitions in the state.
“Pan-Indian tires will ensure that single-use plastic items are not produced in other countries as well, which will stop the entry in Maharashtra,” Am Kare said, MPCB Nagpur regional officials.
By stating that the action was taken, a sub-regional officer of a Katole said, “When we get a tip-off, we will seize the things that come from other states.
But they come in large quantities and become difficult to capture everything.
While the organized sector mostly follows restrictions, now the national ban will make an unmaved sector also follow it.
“Activists hold that prohibition can only be implemented successfully if alternatives are available.
“There must be an affordable and feasible alternative to items that are prohibited and for people whose livelihoods depend on manufacturing and plastic sales since generation.
Also, Onus must be on citizens, who are aware of the proof, continue to use goods , “said Environmental Activist Anasuya Kale Chhabrani.
Show that only forbid things will not help, said activist Wasudev Mishra, “his implementation is purely dependent on people’s behavior, how they adapt to this new change.
Also, we need to work on changes in the skeleton level, where alternatives can help people change patterns Think they are and understand the importance of our environment.
“Chhabrani added that violating” Nexus Vicious “is also important.
“The government needs to identify who producers in the state, which are buyers and dealers, and damage this network.
Only then the country can get rid of plastic,” he said.
