PLASTICS • Global Consumption of plastics ~ 180 million tonnes (Per Capita ~ 28kg) • Indian Consumption of plastics ~6.5 million tonnes ( Per Capita ~ 6kg) • Plastic carry bag accounts for less than 1% of total plastic consumption.
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

PLASTICS BAGS / CARRY BAGS •
Increase shelf-life of contents
•
Essential for packaging / carrying of confectionery, bakery products
•
Essential for packaging / carrying hygroscopic products like sugar / salt / jaggary
•
Convenient for carrying fish / meat / poultry and other wet food products – no other appropriate alternatives
•
Essential to carry commodities during rainy season
•
Add convenience to day-to-day life

Plastics and Paper both can be recycled. However it takes 91% less energy to recycle a kg of plastic than a kg of paper. Source: ULS LCA Report, USA and other reports
PLASTIC & PAPER CARRY BAGS
•
150,000 plastic bags of 20 cm x 30 cm x 40 micron needs 1 small tempo for transportation
•
Paper bags of same size & number need ~ 10 such tempos for transportation - due to higher weight and volume Consuming more fuel and
causing more air pollution

MAJOR ISSUES
Health & safety Toxicity Biodegradability Disposal & waste management
HEALTH & SAFETY Polythene is approved safe material for Use … • In contact with food, pharmaceuticals and drinking water • As implants within human body • In medical applications like IV bottle, Packaging of tablets • For Packaging of Liquid Milk
Plastic Carry Bags are generally made from Polyethylene
TOXICITY Issue: Plastics are termed as toxic and injurious to health
Fact: •
Plastics are inert materials and do not pose any danger of toxicity
•
Emissions during processing of plastics are well within regulatory norms (study by SIIR – Delhi)
•
Additives used in plastics are approved as per BIS / FDA standards
•
Emissions at fire situation have similar or lesser implications in comparison to situation involving natural organic materials like wood, paper & cotton
•
Emissions during burning of paper and polyethylene are similar
BIODEGRADABILITY Issue: Non-biodegradability property of plastics carry bags is termed as the major reason of waste management problem •
Plastics are useful for its long life characteristics
• Nothing decomposes substantially in modern
landfills. It
requires additional mechanical action for composting waste • Indian Landfills does not practice Composting Activity
degradable
BIODEGRADABLE OR RECYCLABLE PLASTICS ? •
Compostable plastics will degrade/compost only in composting conditions
•
The concept of Biodegradable Plastics will encourage littering
•
Spurious products cannot be detected in market place causing flooding of fake bags
•
A mixture of degradable and non-degradable plastics will disturb the plastics recycling activity
•
During decomposition stage biodegradable plastics emit CO2 and CH4 – both green house gases
BIODEGRADATION OR RECYCLING ? • Biodegradable Plastics have been developed • However these are required in applications where recycling is not possible or difficult • Developed countries – major manufacturers of BD Plastics – have not mandated use of Biodegradable Plastics Carry Bags in their countries
Reuse and Recycling is preferred over degradation to encourage Resource Management
USE OF BIODEGRADABLE PLASTICS
Recommended applications of BD plastics: • Nursery Bags, • Mulch/Agricultural film, • One – time use Cutlery / Cups etc
to be
Carried
Ships / Remote areas • Lamination on jute – paper for Relevant Applications etc
Packaging
in
DISPOSAL Issue: Plastics are blamed as the major cause of MSW problem Facts: •
According to studies plastics form about 5% of total MSW in major Indian Metros
• A recent study at Deonar dumping area (Mumbai) reveals that ~ 90 % of plastics waste brought to the landfill are picked up by rag pickers and sold to waste trades for recycling

PLASTIC CARRY BAGS : GLOBAL MATRIX
•
No developed country in the world has any thickness restriction of Plastic Carry bags
•
No country in the world has mandated use of Biodegradable Plastics for any mass commodity product like Carry Bags
•
In California - USA, initial measures for banning of normal plastic bags in favour of biodegradable plastics / paper bags has been stricken down by the Superior Court asking for conducting LCA study on the products
•
France dropped its earlier proposal for banning of normal plastic bags in favour of Biodegradable Plastic Bags on the direction from EU Parliament
PLASTIC CARRY BAGS : GLOBAL MATRIX
•
Australia has plans to reduce the use of thin HDPE bags by 50% over a period of three years
•
Some developed countries levy tax on all packaging materials including plastic carry bags – to meet the cost of managing the waste
•
Many developing countries including China & India have thickness and size restrictions
•
Only Bangladesh and some African nations have imposed ban on plastic carry bags
PLASTIC CARRY BAGS : INDIAN RULES • IN THE STATES OF MAHARASHTRA, GOA, WEST BENGAL, MEGHALAYA, PUNJUB, HIMACHAL PRADESH, KERALA THE THICKNESS RULE VARIES FROM 30 TO 70 MICRONS • IN DELHI , CHANDIGARH AND J & K, PLASTICS CARRY BAGS ARE BANNED
• ALL OTHER STATES FOLLOW MoEF RULE OF 20 MICRONS
SOLUTION TO DISPOSAL PROBLEM
•
Segregation at source – awareness among citizens against littering
•
Proper system for collection of segregated wastes for facilitating recycling
•
Incentives / encouragement for recycling
•
Upgradation of the existing mechanical recycling technology
•
Encouragement for alternate methods of recycling / recovery of energy
