1. Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016
(Amended vide notification G.S.R. 285 (E) dated March 27, 2018)
2. Introduction to Plastics
• Plastic is a general term for synthetic polymerization products
• Almost all plastics are made from petroleum and are not bio-degradable
• Generally, plastics are categorized into 2 types based on their physical properties:
• Thermoplastics: which soften on heating and can be molded into desired shape
• Thermosetting plastics: which cannot be softened or remolded by heating
Plastic takes centuries to decompose in the natural environment
1000 years

Non-recyclable plastics (thermoset and others): Multilayer and laminated plastics,
polyurethane foam (PUF), bakelite, polycarbonate, melamine, nylon, etc.
4. Plastic Waste Generation and Issues in India
• As per the 2015 study conducted by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in 60 major cities of
India: 4,059 tonnes per day of plastic waste was generated by these cities
• Extrapolating the data from these 60 cities, an estimated 25,940 tonnes per day of plastic waste
is generated in India
• Out of the plastic waste generated , 94% comprises of thermoplastic content which is recyclable
5. Need for Plastic Waste Management
Aesthetics & Hygiene
• Plastic is an artificially created polymer compound
which can survive many centuries before nature is
able to degrade it
• It is an aesthetic nuisance than a hazard since the
material is biologically quite inert
• It is cheap and gets discarded easily, and its
persistence in environment can do great harm
Threat to birds & animals
• Plastics pose a serious danger to birds, animals and
marine animals that often mistake them for food
• Not only animals, infants and young children have
also been reported to have lost their life, on
account of suffocation by plastic bags
6. Need for Plastic Waste Management (contd.)
Environment
• Careless disposal of plastic bags chokes drains,
blocks the porosity of the soil, inhibits
groundwater recharge and can cause landslides
• It reduces soil fertility and can lessen the growth
of plants and trees by blocking the absorption of
minerals, water and other nutrients
Health
• Toxic chemicals found in plastic cause cancer,
birth defects, hormonal changes, diabetes, gastric
ulcer thyroid problems and cardiovascular
diseases
• Plastics when burnt release a host of poisonous
chemicals into the air
• Plastic Industry releases a large amount of carbon
monoxide, dioxin, hydrogen cyanide which cause
respiratory diseases, nervous system disorders
and immune suppression in human beings
7. Case Study: Plastic was a Major Contributor to the
Flood Calamity in Kerala
• With more than a quarter of a million
of people displaced and hundreds
dead, the human cost of the flood
calamity in Kerala is unimaginable
• When the flood waters receded,
enormous amount of plastic waste was
left behind on the
Malayattoor-Kodanad bridge by the
river
• Rescue operations were jeopardized
due to the plastic waste blocking the
bridge (and given lack of space & time,
the waste was thrown back into the
river)
• Water entered the colonies because
plastic waste blocked the flow towards
the tank. The blocks caused a breach in
the canal bund and residential colonies
nearby remained inundated for more
than a week
8. Case Study: Contamination of Indian Sea Salts with
Microplastics
Microplastics are small
pieces of plastic less than 5
millimeter in diameter
formed by the product's
gradual degradation in the
environment, especially the
sea
• Presence of microplastics in sea salt in various Countries
• The India-specific study is important because India is the third-largest producer of edible and
industrial salt (26 million metric tonnes in 2017) after China and US
Source: IIT Powai
Indians are consuming about 117 micrograms (0.117 milligrams) of microplastic annually if the
average person has a daily salt intake of 5 grams
9. Case Study: Disastrous impact on the health of
stray animals that often eat out of garbage
bins
Doctors removed
80kg of polythene
waste from a cow’s
stomach after
3-hour operation
• The six-year-old cow was
operated on at Patna’s Bihar
Veterinary College where
doctors removed the plastic
waste from the animal’s
stomach.

• To promote use of plastic waste for road construction,
energy recovery, or waste to oil etc. for gainful utilization
of waste and also address the waste disposal issue.

27. Plastic Waste Management
Following are few best available for Plastic Waste
Management
1.Reduction of Usage
Through IEC
Alternate Materials Usage
Through Penalties
2.Re Use
3.Recycling
32. Re Use and Recycle
• As per the integrated solid waste management
(ISWM) hierarchy, reuse and recycling of plastic
waste are the preferred methods for managing
plastic wastes after reduction.
• But plastics cannot be recycled indefinitely; each
recycling cycle reduces the strength and utility of
the plastic.
• Energy recovery from plastics shall be
considered when recycling is no longer possible.
• Plastic waste is accepted as fuel in cement kilns;
residence times and temperatures are adequate
to preempt the production of dioxins and furans.
33. Re Use and Recycle-Cont..
• Incineration of plastic wastes for energy
recovery may also be considered under strictly
controlled and monitored conditions.
• Reusing plastic waste to form polymer blended
bitumen roads is an accepted method for final
disposal of plastics in India.
• Landfilling of plastics should be avoided.
• Plasma pyrolysis and production of liquid fuel
from plastic waste are technologies being
tested; however, commercial viability of such
technologies is yet to be proven.
