This July, India will complete a year of single use plastic ban. But turns out the pervasiveness of single use plastic is difficult to beat. Despite a year after the government imposed the ban, prohibiting its manufacturing, import, stocking, distribution and sale, of plastic carry bags thinner than 120 microns, the material is still found to be in use. What is behind India’s persistent plastic problem? Lax enforcement of regulations? Absence of alternatives? Lack of incentives for waste processing? Host Kalpana Pathak and Team TMB talk to Akshay Gunteti, Head of Partnerships at Green Worms and Nandini Kumar, Senior Senior Consultant at CII and a host of plastic users and vendors.
