With a step forward to defeat one of the biggest problems of plastic waste disposal in the country, the government has made it compulsory for the road or highway developers to utilize the plastic waste along with bituminous mixes in order to construct new roads. Mixer of plastic will add to the durability of roads by making them water resistant and also maximize the resistance of roads to change in weather.
According to a study conducted by Central Pollution Control Board, India generates approximately 56 lakhs tones of waste every year. 60 large cities alone generated around 15,000 tonne of waste. So, after considering these observations seriously, Supreme Court of India pointed out that the nation is sitting on a plastic time bomb & some corrective measures must be taken into considerations.
Even the government is also encouraging the state governments to follow and implement the same policy as it will only bring effective & better results.
With the implementation of law and corrective measures taken by government to effectively use the plastic waste in a right manner generated by the nation will not only help us to reduce it marginally but also help in to contribute to what little we can as a country to reduce the carbon emission.
