India generates approximately 3.4 million tonnes (Source: CPCB) of plastic waste annually, of which only 30% is recycled. The remaining 70% ends up in landfills, rivers, and oceans, causing long-term environmental degradation and threatening ecosystems. This growing plastic pollution directly impacts biodiversity, human health, and urban resilience. This growing plastic pollution directly impacts biodiversity, human health, and urban resilience.
Plastics leach hazardous chemicals like bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, which are linked to severe health concerns, including hormone disruption, developmental issues, and certain cancers.
India’s Plastic Waste Management (PWM) Rules 2016, amended in 2021, mandate Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for businesses to tackle plastic waste. Key regulations include:
Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs) must recover and recycle specified targets of their plastic output.
Companies must achieve 100% recovery by 2024-25.
Items like cutlery and straws are banned, emphasizing waste reduction.
Facilitates collection and recycling operations for businesses to meet EPR targets.

Plastics contain toxic chemicals that harm both ecosystems and human health. They persist in the environment for centuries, disrupting biodiversity and releasing pollutants into the soil, air, and water.
