Noida, India — As India continues to see calls for restrictions on plastics, companies at the recent Indiaplast show were trying to demonstrate more potential in recycling.
India’s government announced March 6 it would ban imports of plastic waste, following similar moves by China and other Asian countries.
According to Indian press accounts, the move extends what had been a partial ban. Previously, India had allowed scrap plastic imports into special economic zones and “exported-oriented units” that would use the scrap in their manufacturing operations. But the new ban prohibits that as well.
At the opening ceremony of Indiaplast 2019, the head of India’s largest flexible packaging firm said the industry is trying to show that plastics are recyclable, amid the increasing government pressure.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government announced last year it intended to ban all single-use plastics by 2022.
