RE: More and more plastic alternatives

Today, microplastics are available everywhere, and it is very scary when they say that we are consuming a SIM card-sized microplastic every day without our knowledge.

Plastic pollution results in disruption of the endocrine system; particularly
harmful to women of reproductive age and children- e.g. Chemicals like Bisphenol A are leached from plastics.

The world generates 400 MLT of plastic waste, whereas India's contribution is around 3.5 MLT. Of that, it is the packaging industry that contributes to 69% of the plastic waste.

Garbage bags have already been available in non-plastic material for a very long time but now other carry bags are also available as non-plastic materials that look and feel exactly like plastic bags

While it's welcoming that the source of plastic pollution is being curtailed with bio-degradable alternatives, we also need proper civic sense with regard to plastics, so the bottom-up approach is equally important. I dont know how we sensitize the masses about it. because public at large is indifferent to plastic pollution.
