TO BE ANSWERED ON 13.03.2020

## Single-Use Plastic

- (b) whether the State Governments have also agreed to end single-use plastic and if so, the details thereof; and
- (c) the steps being taken to incentivise various establishments for not using plastic?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  ENVIRONMENT,  FOREST  AND CLIMATE CHANGE (SHRI BABUL SUPRIYO )

(a) to (c) The Government has notified Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016. The Rules prohibit  the  use  of  carry  bags  made  of  virgin  or  recycled  plastic  less  than  fifty  microns  in thickness. Sachets made of plastic material for storing, packing or selling gutkha, tobacco and pan masala are also prohibited. As per the Rules, the generators of waste have been mandated to take  steps  to  minimize  generation  of  plastic  waste,  not  to  litter  the  plastic  waste,  ensure segregated storage of waste at source and handover segregated waste to local bodies or agencies authorized by the local bodies. The rules also mandate the responsibilities of local bodies, gram panchayats,  waste  generators,  retailers  and  street  vendors  to  manage  plastic  waste.  The  rules mandate the producers, importers and brand owners to work out modalities for waste collection system based on the principle of Extended Producer Responsibility.

Further,  considering  the  high  environmental  cost  associated  with  the  use  of single-use  plastic, particularly the adverse effect on soil, water bodies and on marine environment, Hon'ble Prime Minister has announced India's pledge to phase out Single-use plastic by 2022. Many States/UTs through their own notifications have also imposed partial or complete prohibition on the use of plastic  carry  bags/single  use  plastic.  23  States  and  9  UTs  have  issued  notifications/orders introducing regulations pertaining to complete ban on plastic carry bags and/or other single-use plastic items.

Establishments  are  not  directly  incentivized  for  not  using  plastics,  however,  the  producers, importers  and  brand  owners  have  now  initiated  steps  to  set  up  material  recovery  facilities  by their own or through the Producers Responsibility Organizations (PRO) for collection of plastic waste and are tying up with the registered recyclers for the recycling of plastic waste. This EPR mechanism  has  created  additional  source  of  income  for  recyclers.Further,  the  producers, importers and brand owners are switching towards alternate packaging to reduce the EPR cost.
