Manufacturers of plastic goods who have been allowed to continue producing their items, after stricter implementation of the ban last month, will now have to ensure their proper recycling as well. The government wants to ensure correct disposal and processing of plastic that is in use and will soon be issuing instructions on how manufacturers registered with the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) should recycle plastic waste.
