04 Jul 2022 --- The Indian government has imposed bans on a wide range of single-use plastic products to combat the nation’s pollution problems, which the UN estimates to contribute to around a third of the world’s 11 million metric tons of marine trash annually. The ban was first proposed in 2016 by Prime Minister Modi, and the government hailed its implementation three days ago as “a defining step to curb pollution caused by littered and unmanaged plastic waste.”
