On Independence Day 2019, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed to ban single-use plastics in India and pointed towards the possibility to take "strong first steps towards bidding adieu to single-use plastic on October 2nd". This announcement followed an earlier statement during World Environment Day 2018 in India by Mr Harsh Vardhan, former Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, who declared to phase out single-use plastic by 2022 [1]. While no specific policy instrument has been implemented since then, it highlights India’s commitment to address its growing challenges in waste collection, recovery and disposal.
