The Plastic Waste Crisis
Import Dependency
India imports recycled plastic from China at ₹60-80 per kg, creating unnecessary dependency and higher costs for manufacturers.
Environmental Pollution
Massive plastic waste burning causes severe air pollution, while uncontrolled dumping contaminates soil and water sources.
Lost Economic Value
Millions of tons of valuable plastic resources are wasted annually instead of being converted into profitable raw materials.
Inefficient Collection
Lack of organized collection systems leads to waste accumulation in communities, creating health and environmental hazards.

Current Reality
Banning plastic is not a permanent solution - it still gets sold in black markets. While administrative bans may seem like a green solution, true sustainability requires efficient recycling systems that transform waste into valuable resources.
