: Time to
strike a deal ?
Today’s Times of India carries following news report :
Excerpt :
Plastic manufacturers have been demanding a rollback and have promised
all help to recycle
the plastic that is produced.
Ravi Jashnani, president of the Maharashtra Plastic Manufacturers Association, welcomed the move
to form a committee. "The government has opened up a window for us,"
he said.
He said they had apprised Fadnavis about the large scale recycling
already happening in the state. "We will take more steps to increase recycling," said
Jashnani.
There is no doubt that the Plastic Industry will take
steps to increase recycling
As far as the question of “ Recycling
“ is concerned , I urge both parties ( Govt and the Plastic Manufacturers ) to go
through my following suggestions :

But , let us not miss the wood for the tree !
Recycling is only a “ temporary cure “ . But , as they say ( wisely ) :
“ Prevention is better than the cure “
And the only way we can “ Prevent the Problem of Plastics Pollution “ , is to draw up a permanent solution
, as suggested in my following blog :
#Plastic
: Refusing to fade away [ 05 April
2018 ]
I urge , both the Govt Committee and the Plastic Manufacturers to conduct their negotiations in
a spirit of “ Give and
Take “ , in order to arrive at a permanent solution, which both parties
firmly commit to and which is legally binding
If they manage to strike such a deal , it would work as
a bench-mark for the Central Government to negotiate a similar deal for gradual dismantling of the Tobacco Industry over the next 10 years
