Tamil Nadu Authorities Intensify Enforcement Against Banned Single-Use Plastics
Authorities in Tamil Nadu are intensifying actions against factories and vendors producing or selling banned single-use plastic products. In Erode, factories manufacturing prohibited plastics face electricity disconnection and sealing of premises for one year, with landowners also held accountable. In Coimbatore, the Corporation has conducted extensive inspections, seized banned plastics, and imposed fines, while promoting biodegradable alternatives through initiatives like 'Pasumai Angadi'. Despite enforcement, banned plastics remain available in some city areas, prompting continued regulatory efforts.
