Abstract

The consensus on India’s plastic waste problem is that despite these bans, India’s plastic usage is not decreasing. The argument put forth while making this assessment is that the ban regulation sought to modify one aspect of plastic use while failing to ask important questions of production: how are things produced (and disposed), by whom, and under what circumstances? Further, in terms of environmental consequences and effects on employment, the best intentions to deal with waste can come to naught if attention is not paid to how things are produced. The consensus on India’s plastic waste problem is that despite these bans, India’s plastic usage is not decreasing.
