 "Plastic bottles, recycle, waste, plastic,")
Faced with the ban on single-use polyethylene, plastic manufacturers have set up a “fund” with an initial corpus of Rs 1 million to do a viability gap funding and get low-value waste cleared from streets for recycling.
“The aim of this fund is to demonstrate the government about the possibility of recycling. Plastic manufacturers have been a victim of wrong policy due to the negligence being committed by consumers. This fund would be utilized to incentivize rag-pickers for collection of plastic and transport it to the recycling centres,” said Hiten Bheda, President of All India Plastics Manufacturers’ Association (AIPMA).
