The widespread and unchecked use of plastic in India has raised significant concerns about its detrimental effects on the environment. Plastic pollution has become a pressing issue, leading to severe consequences for ecosystems, wildlife, and public health. To address this crisis, India has been taking steps towards implementing extended producer responsibility measures, which shift the onus of plastic waste management onto the manufacturers and importers. This approach aims to encourage sustainable production, reduce single-use plastics, and promote recycling, thereby contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment for future generations.
