Single Use Plastic Items News Today

With a goal to achieve Zero Waste to Landfill, Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) continues its sustainable journey to reduce its carbon footprint. This journey entails a wide spectrum of initiatives conducted to reduce significant waste production by both the organisation, as well as the content production houses of its various shows in Mumbai.

India generates 3.5 million tonnes of plastic waste a year. The government data reveals that India’s per capita plastic waste generation is 3 kg per year.

The government said in a statement that “India will ban manufacture import, stocking, distribution, sale and use of identified single-use plastic items, which have low utility and high littering potential, all across the country from July 1, 2022.”
