Summary:
The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's (AMC) efforts to effectively enforce its plastic ban has resulted in a reduction of garbage waste. Interestingly, against around 12 tonnes of plastic waste generated last year, this year it had been reduced to mere 500 kg. This is mainly because of the effective plastic ban in city. Even their collectors have observed a reduction in plastic waste. Mainly because of the ban on plastic water pouches, plastic glasses/cups, and bags, claim AMC officials..
