India\u2019s Single-Use Plastic Crisis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

India faces a severe plastic waste crisis, with approximately 3.4 million tonnes of plastic waste generated annually. According to reports, about 43% of this plastic waste remains uncollected and unprocessed, leading to severe environmental consequences. Single-use plastics, such as shopping bags, are a major contributor to this problem. Many of these plastics are not effectively recycled, leading to long-term pollution and health hazards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
