6 tonne plastic waste comes daily from Shimla to city for processing

CONTRARY TO popular perception about effective enforcement of the plastic ban in Himachal Pradesh, plastic waste is being churned out in a huge quantity in Shimla, and it is coming to Chandigarh for disposal on a daily basis. Himachal Pradesh was the first state in the country to impose a ban on the use of plastic bags in 2003. The Chandigarh garbage plant at Dadumajra daily receives nearly 60 tonnes of garbage from Shimla, of which nearly 6 tonnes is plastic waste comprising bags and plastic packing.
