Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Ql : Why are you banning plastics?

Due to increased use of plastics, a majority of them end up in garbage. 80% of garbage by volume is plastic.
This gets burned in the open, affecting the air that we breathe leading to several breathing issues, skin issues
and cancer. It also ends up in landfills leading to chemicals seeping in land affecting the water we drink. In
order to protect the health of the residents of the ward, Government has decided to implement the ban on
single-use plastic.

Q2 : If the waste is segregated, the plastic can go for recycling, then why ban it?

The market for recycling plastic has come down due to the reduction in oil prices resulting in virgin plastic being
cheaper than recycled plastic. Due to fall in recycling market, more and more plastic is reaching land fills and
creating a garbage menace for the authorities.

Q3 : Customers ask for carry bags. 1 don’t want to lose business.

When all the traders comply, the customer is forced to carry his own bag. Customers are also informed
through public information. Shop-keepers also can let the customers know about the ban and request them
to carry their own bags.

Q15 : Milk is sold in plastic, atta etc., comes in plastic. What about them?

Dairy products are exempt from the ban. Pre-packaged goods are not banned for now. Govt has given 2 years’

processing the packaging they release in the market.
