. Packaging, Electronics, Telecommunication, Infrastructure, Transportation, Healthcare and Consumer Durables are fast growing sectors of Indian economy offering growth for plastics consumption.

Recycling of plastics is a continuous process

State specific initiatives

Few states in India have also instituted state laws to minimize plastic waste.

Himachal Pradesh was the first to formulate a state rule to protect the state from plastic waste menace which is followed by Goa, Jammu & Kashmir, Maharashtra etc.

Conclusion

In the present scenerio we had seen that this problem can be converted in profit

making tool by remaining in the
