What is single use plastic? No clue
Kochi: Though the Union government has issued a notification banning single use plastic products from October 2, various industries are concerned over the impact of the ban, as no definition of the single use product has been made. The Kerala Plastic Manufacturers Association said that the All-India Plastic Manufacturers Association, the national- level body, was in constant touch with the government, but was yet to get the details of the ban. If the local bodies and the government can strictly enforce the ban on plastic products with thickness of less than 50 microns, it can address the plastic waste menace to a great extent. The association is also ready to buy back used plastic packaging materials like milk cover and will approach Milma and private dairy cooperatives for this.
