Suggest us Sustainable Alternatives to Beat Plastic Pollution

If we use biodegradable plastic it would be becoming a alternative of traditional plastic which is made up of chemicals.Biodegradable plastics are made from all-natural plant materials. These can include corn oil, orange peels, starch, and plants. Traditional plastic is made with chemical fillers that can be harmful to the environment when released when the plastic is melted down. With biodegradable plastic, you get a substance made from natural sources that does not harm society.

The packaging industry is the main culprit of plastic pollution. I viewed my monthly grocery shopping and only remember that the matchbox (diyasalai) is not packeted in plastic. Polythene bags are the part of pollution, but only a small part. To make a solution for plastic pollution, first and foremost, government have to ban plastic packaging in all food and household items all over India immediately.

We should use non woven carry bags more than plastics bags as non woven bags are reusable, photo-degradable and also cheaper as compared to other alternatives for plastic.And as compared to paper bags, the process of making non woven carry bags is much easier and better for the environment. There is no cutting of trees involved. The administration should promote non woven bags as much as possible.

We certainly can Beat Plastic Pollution by simply banning manufacture and use of one time use of plastic containers for water, fruit drinks etc. Another way will be to have a vigorous awareness campaign amongst the public to dispose plastic items in designated spots to be collected by GMC/NGO workers for ultimate disposal. Still further, we can install at very convenient points water dispensing units from where people can collect water in other vessels other than throw away plastics.

Though plastic pollution is a menace, people won't stop using it as Plastic products have become an integral part in our daily life as a basic need. Pyrolysis process becomes an option of waste-to-energy technology to deliver oil from all types of plastic waste from household, industrial and bio medical waste. Pyrolysis is a very good solution for plastic waste management which will lead to a very sustainable environment around us along with the socio economic development of the society.

Top alternatives for plastic:
1) hemp fibre.
Made from cannabis plant(non psychoactive)
2) hemp fibres can.be used to make clothes, bags, shoes ,concrete and.hemp miz and even in making cars substituting plastic fibres.. Hemp fibres, made cars are 6 times stronger than steel.

2) hemp cultivation will boost the economy.
3) use of plastic to construct roads. Which are more durable, weather proof, rain resistant.

3) once plastic is reused completely, the threat of pollution decreases.

All banners used for any meetings / celebration functions etc. should be made of cloths. Also use of all other Single Use Plastics in any forms is strictly prohibited to reduce the plastic burden. All painters (Banner writters) are now jobless, due to our apathy or invasion of flex machines. Such Painters may be facilitated with soft loan with or without subsidies. Districtwise empanelled Painters should mandatorily be involved for all painting works associated with Govt functions in districts.

My suggestion is use of banana fiber instead of plastic. Banana fiber products are ecofriendly and cheap enough. In Australia, Egypt, Philippines they are already using it. Me and my friend are doing research in it about establishing a company in Assam. We are close enough now. If JANATAR SARKAR help us with little more push, then we will able to establish a revolutionary industry in ASSAM.

First packaging in plastic converted in biodigrable material, mainly plastic pollution done by it packed. Next black colour plastic item is not use as recycling the item should be banned, use town/city/village plastic deposable machine where computerised system to register bank account & spoted cash in bank account by plastic item deposable. Collection plastic item system should be increasable
Bannened thermocal, thin plastic carry bag.use more biodigrable item like betalnut leaf, bannana tre
