E36 | India's Ban on Single Use Plastic

About this episode

This episode discusses India's ban on certain Single Use Plastic items, its implications, and alternatives.

Starting on the 1st of July, 2022,  India has banned the manufacture, import, stocking, distribution, sale and use of certain Single Use Plastic items which have low utility and high littering potential. This episode is a deep dive into what that list is, what the substitutes can be, how the ban is being implemented and the way forward on this journey. Since the ban is going to affect us all, I highly encourage you to listen and share this episode widely to enable conscious living.  If you have doubts, or need help with resources, reach out to me via Insta/Fb/Twitter: @PrathyushaCFA18
