Single use plastic ban: Implementation is a big problem, says CSE

Narain said, “Implementation of the ban will be the key.The ban on plastic carry bags, for instance, is not novel. As many as 25 states and Union territories have already banned them, as per the latest report of the Central Pollution Control Board. While states say it is difficult to regulate this item based on plastic thickness, it is clear that the enforcement is inadequate.”
