50 crore on shopkeepers and hawkers for use of the banned plastic bags.Civic officials blame the failure of the ban on clandestine supply of banned plastic carry bags from neighbouring cities.The clogging of drains due to plastic carry bags was one of the prime reasons for the 26/7 deluge in 2005, which brought the entire city to a standstill with over 1,000 people losing their lives. A clandestine supply of plastic carry bags from neighbouring cities has further added to the plastic menace in the China PVC sheets factory city. We have formed two squads to take action against the banned carry bags.A clandestine supply of plastic carry bags from neighbouring cities has further added to the plastic menace in the city.The violation of this act invited a penalty of Rs 5,000 and Rs 10,000 for the first and second offence, respectively.Mumbai daily generates 6,500 metric tonnes of garbage; a significant share of which contains plastic.
People insist on plastic bags.Mumbai daily generates 6,500 metric tonnes of garbage; a significant share of which contains plastic. According to civic data, BMC in the last three years has registered 3,158 cases; seized 4,805 kg plastic; and levied a fine of Rs 1. I have observed several times that customers refuse to buy when we say there are no bags,” he said. Certain offences were liable for a fine of Rs 25,000 and imprisonment of three months.A senior civic official said, “Despite the ban, carry bags continue to reach hawkers from neighbouring cities like Diu, Daman, Silvassa, Vasai, Dahanu etc. Soon after, plastic carry bags under 50 microns thickness and under 8x12 inches size were banned by the state government under the Maharashtra Non-biodegradable Garbage Control (MNBGC) Act. Authorities there should take action against the manufacturers to stop the supply."Ramkishor Sahu, a Dadar-based vendor said that hawkers kept plastic bags for fear of losing customers. With free availability of these bags nearly everywhere, people are continuing to use them, defeating the very purpose of the ban.Despite all this, the use of carry bags in the city has continued unabated. Mumbai: The state government has imposed a ban on illegal plastic carry bags, but there is no stopping their use in the metropolis.

The gathered plastic bottles are first washed and then chopped into flakes
We started with our 1,500 t-shirt capsule collection and apart from general consumers, many of our existing partner organisations showed keen interest to join hands with us. “I was in Nashik when I noticed large quantities of plastic bottles being treated as ‘garbage’. I spent the next two years in R&D to create fashionable apparel made of discarded, empty plastic juice bottles. However, plastic bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) PP sheets manufacturers are completely recyclable, although they are not biodegradable. Yarn is then woven into fabric, dyed using eco-friendly processes, before the ocean-friendly t-shirt is finally ready..According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) report in 2017, it was estimated that around 25,940 tonnes of plastic waste is generated every day in India. She adds, “‘All good.
All the world’s plastic! It is here, there, and everywhere — from straws to polybags, from tiffin boxes to soda bottles.According to the CPCB report in 2017, it was estimated that around 25,940 tonnes of plastic waste is generated every day in India. However, it was in 2017 that she came up with an innovative recycling initiative.“Garbage disposal is a huge problem in today’s plastic crisis and we find people often aren’t aware of alternative solutions to manage disposal better. The youth of today connects with sustainability and there is scope to make a unique identity for an initiative like ours because people are seeking and appreciating solutions that show responsibility towards the environment,” she adds. No bad’ is the philosophy for a better planet.
Being a committed proponent of sustainable living, she decided to follow an eco-friendly lifestyle.Talking about the feedback she has received for this initiative, the 35-year-old expresses, “People are enjoying the fabric and the tee’s versatility.Take, for instance, Atiya Rakyan’s endeavour.”“Fashion has always been close to my heart and making recycling and upcycling cool was a challenge I was looking forward to. Our customers are wearing these t-shirts on a daily basis. This means a per capita plastic consumption of nearly 11 kilograms — a large part of this includes bottles, wrappers, bags, and sachets. But its negative effects on the environment cannot be discounted, and the world seems to be waking up to this reality.”
The gathered plastic bottles are first washed and then chopped into flakes, which are later melted, shaped into chips, and extruded into yarn. Atiya Rakyan Mumbai-based Atiya Rakyan takes your discarded plastic, processes it into fashionable tees, and gives it back to you thanks to her ingenious initiative that gets upcyling right. Google, Facebook, L&T, and even some schools have shown their interest in the project,” she said on a concluding note. The learning amassed in this process led to the launch of RawCycle, making them the best available alternatives to recycled waste,” Atiya shares.Atiya has already gathered 1. With this initiative, seven empty bottles get transformed into one t-shirt.2 million bottles for recycling and she has recently launched her first apparel collection that is made up of 95 per cent recycled plastic polyester and 5 per cent Dri Fit spandex.
