## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE OF CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS (SMT. ANUPRIYA PATEL)

(a)&  (b)  10  Plastic  Parks  have  been  approved  so  far  in  different  States.    Details  of Funds released to these Plastic Parks during the last five years are  placed at Annexure-I .

(c)         Currently, there is no proposal to establish any new Plastic Parks.

(d)              The  Government  provides  grants-in-aid  for  the  establishment  of  the  Plastic Parks.  The  implementation  of  these  projects  as  well  as  the  process  of  getting  them populated by industrial units is largely in the hands of the Special Purpose Vehicles set up by the  State Government or their agencies. The respective States have taken several steps to promote private sector participation in these Plastic Parks, including conducting awareness and 1ensitization programmes for the industry, providing plots at competitive rates, giving tax incentives etc.

(e)      The Scheme for Setting up of Plastic Parks promotes setting up of need-based Plastic Parks with requisite infrastructure and enabling common facilities. The objective is  to  consolidate and  synergize the capacities of downstream  plastic  processing industry  tohelp  increase  investment,  production  and  export  in  the  sector  as  well  as generate employment. Under the Scheme, common infrastructure for the industrial units is  provided  including  effluent  treatment  plant,  solid/  hazardous  waste  management, facilities  for  plastic  recycling,  incinerator  etc.  Some  of  the  Plastic  Parks  have  also established in-house recycling sheds for recycling of plastic waste.
