What are the new developments to strengthen plans to control the use of polythene?
It is like this. We wanted polythene that is less than 20 microns in thickness to be banned from use. It was done so to ease the management of waste. But we understand that this is not being properly implemented. One reason is that polythene production has now become a cottage industry. When we introduced the regulation, there were only about 300 polythene manufacturers. Now, it appears that there are about 3,000-4,000 manufacturers. Therefore, we have realised that it is difficult to control this. There’s a limit as to the number of people that could be arrested for this. Therefore, we have decided that the manufacturer should print their label on polythene packs released into the market. Otherwise, they are not allowed to continue their business. Q: Then, is polythene, with less than 20 microns in thickness, permissible now? A: No. That is not the case. People who produce polythene have to have their label on the packet. Then it is easy for us to identify those who produce polythene
