India produces 3.5 million tonnes plastic waste per year

India produces 3.5 million tonnes of plastic garbage each year.

The government has come far in terms of eliminating single-use plastic (SUP) and properly disposing of it.

Producers, importers, and brand owners can use the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Portal for Plastic Packaging to improve accountability, traceability, transparency, and reporting compliance to EPR standards.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared India's commitment to phase out single-use plastics by 2022 in order to combat plastic pollution.

India delivers a message of hope and optimism, expressing confidence that mankind will be able to tackle the difficulties posed by climate change and that it will be a part of the solution.
