Plastic Waste Management
Understanding the roles of ULBs, Manufacturers and Retailers
WHY SHOULD YOU ENROLL?
The Municipal Solid Waste Management rules have significantly increased our national commitment to a plastic free India. Most importantly, they introduce the idea of an "Extended producer's responsibility to be borne by producers of products and packaging, as well as brand owners, vendors and retailers.
​
What does this mean in practice for a retailer or product owner? How can an owner meet their obligations under the rules? What is the role of an urban local body in this process? What are the opportunities for municipalities to strengthen waste management systems to meet their responsibilities under the act?
​
We will discuss this and more in this lecture on the plastic waste management.
