&lt;em&gt;Most qualify the ban geographically or focus on specific categories: report&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;While Maharashtra may be gearing up for a stringent ban on plastic, experience from across the country suggests that States&amp;rsquo; claims on reigning in plastic are stronger on paper than on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the Centre&amp;rsquo;s Plastic Waste Management (PWM) Rules, 2016, all States have to annually apprise the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) on the steps taken to reign in plastic use, whether a ban is in force, and the strength and performance of a recycler and waste-processing network. The latest such report &amp;mdash; as of July 2016 &amp;mdash; notes that only 24 States and Union Territories have complied with these directions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most States, while claiming a ban, qualify it by saying that the ban is imposed in specific towns or cities. Or that it is focussed on particular categories of plastic. Take Assam. Its performance report states that while there is a &amp;ldquo;complete ban&amp;rdquo; on plastic carry bags in Kamrup, Sonitpur, Nalbari, Dibrugarh, it allows the import of &amp;ldquo;substandard plastic carry bags&amp;rdquo;, provided the Commissioner of Taxes, Assam is informed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Gujarat, the estimated plastic waste generation is approximately 2,69,294 tonnes per annum and there are nearly 689 plastic waste recyclers, all of them registered. But only Gandhinagar &amp;mdash; the capital city but with less than 4% of neighbouring Ahmedabad&amp;rsquo;s population &amp;mdash; has an &amp;ldquo;explicit&amp;rdquo; ban on the use of plastic carry bags.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;While Maharashtra may be gearing up for a stringent ban on plastic, experience from across the country suggests that States&amp;rsquo; claims on reigning in plastic are stronger on paper than on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the Centre&amp;rsquo;s Plastic Waste Management (PWM) Rules, 2016, all States have to annually apprise the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) on the steps taken to reign in plastic use, whether a ban is in force, and the strength and performance of a recycler and waste-processing network. The latest such report &amp;mdash; as of July 2016 &amp;mdash; notes that only 24 States and Union Territories have complied with these directions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most States, while claiming a ban, qualify it by saying that the ban is imposed in specific towns or cities. Or that it is focussed on particular categories of plastic. Take Assam. Its performance report states that while there is a &amp;ldquo;complete ban&amp;rdquo; on plastic carry bags in Kamrup, Sonitpur, Nalbari, Dibrugarh, it allows the import of &amp;ldquo;substandard plastic carry bags&amp;rdquo;, provided the Commissioner of Taxes, Assam is informed.&lt;br /&gt;

States' claim on fighting plastic only strong on paper -Jacob Koshy

-The Hindu Most qualify the ban geographically or focus on specific categories: report New Delhi: While Maharashtra may be gearing up for a stringent ban on plastic, experience from across the country suggests that States’ claims on reigning in plastic are stronger on paper than on the ground. According to the Centre’s Plastic Waste Management (PWM) Rules, 2016, all States have to annually apprise the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) on the steps taken to reign in plastic use, whether a ban is in force, and the strength and performance of a recycler and waste-processing network. The latest such report — as of July 2016 — notes that only 24 States and Union Territories have complied with these directions. Most States, while claiming a ban, qualify it by saying that the ban is imposed in specific towns or cities. Or that it is focussed on particular categories of plastic. Take Assam. Its performance report states that while there is a “complete ban” on plastic carry bags in Kamrup, Sonitpur, Nalbari, Dibrugarh, it allows the import of “substandard plastic carry bags”, provided the Commissioner of Taxes, Assam is informed. In Gujarat, the estimated plastic waste generation is approximately 2,69,294 tonnes per annum and there are nearly 689 plastic waste recyclers, all of them registered. But only Gandhinagar — the capital city but with less than 4% of neighbouring Ahmedabad’s population — has an “explicit” ban on the use of plastic carry bags. Please click here to read more.
