Summary:
The Gujarat government is coming up with a policy to incentivise the systematic disposal of plastic waste. The plastic waste collected from different sources will be further segregated into recyclable and non-recyclable plastic materials. The state government's policy will also include the provision for penalties against irrational disposal of plastic waste and use of hazardous plastic materials. The government will set up a system through which plastic waste from cities and villages will be recycled and the rag pickers would get paid by the weight of the plastic waste. There is a huge chunk of such other plastic waste materials that remains unsorted which creates more pollution..
