India tops plastic pollution rankings, emitting a fifth of global plastic waste

[@hanamantmunnolli6381]

Considering the population size and level of awareness and arrangements for plastic waste management, the study seems right. Ecoline- a start up is doing a great job in manufacturing apparel, especially jackets by using plastic waste. Our youths should come up with such " Social entrepreneurship " , in which SHGs, NGOs could be roped in, for effective segregation, incineration, recycling.. The general government is having a little fund and expertise in dealing with such a great threat of humanity.. Waste to the energy industry, has a bigger role to play in this.. Govt alone is not sufficient for this gigantic task.. Thank you, DTE. ❤

[@libshastra]

Absolutely. But Govt still needs to a LOT more heavy lifting. Swacch Bharat Abhiyan needs more funding and more infrastructure needs to be built and scaled up. Along with that we also need more Social messaging. It is still sad to see passengers throw waste from trains.

[@hanamantmunnolli6381]

@@libshastra you are right, sir

[@prashantbhaskar4515]

It's high time , government should frame some law for proper waste management

[@libshastra]

Oi laws se kuch hoyega. You need funding, you need land to collect, segregate and handle waste. You need real hard infrastructure and that is what the Govt is doing with Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.

Taking nothing away from India and 90 others, but 2:03 tells you so much of the why and the how.

[@abhinavsachdeva3752]

You keep showing plastic bottles in ur video but the real problem is Plastic Bags and plastic packaging.

[@joeyhandles]

Incredible India 😐 The government should take serious action instead of playing dirty politics

[@akashjain1201]

में स्वयं के निर्णय के लिए दायित्व तो ले सकता हूं लेकिन संपूर्ण देश एवं समाज के लिए नहीं| भौतिक विकास के लिए प्लास्टिक का उत्पादन और भोग अनिवार्य है लेकिन उसके साथ अपशिष्ट प्रबंधन भी अति महत्वपूर्ण कार्य है| इसके लिए संपूर्ण देश को एकजुट होकर कार्य करना होगा| मेरे व्यक्तिगत जीवन में प्लास्टिक का उपयोग जितना हो सके उतना कम करता हूं| शाक सब्जी के लिए 95% कपास का थैला उपयोग में लेता हूं| प्लास्टिक रहित जीवन होना शायद वर्तमान समय में असंभव है|

[@believerone2001]

Waste recycling is also a big business in India and other Asian countries.

[@Dhanyam13]

Definitely need to compare with it average per capita waste generated by an American. It’d be 10x - 20x higher and yet there’d be no spotlight on it as the countries in the Global north have a free pass!

[@yashchiman6465]

This means india is in even worse conditions, Americans have lands rather than residential lands to dump waste, but we do not have any land, it's high time that India should make serious laws controlling population

Thanks for information

[@Learnforpeople]

Countries which started late using plastic needs more time

[@boldjawad]

INDIA NO. 1!!! Mera Bharat Mahaan!!!

[@vinayakujjani-wb4bv]

So removed plastic waste exports from High income countries but added plastic treatment and recycling for India? Hmm

[@higherhigh143]

Ryt but no alternative

[@gauravbisaria9825]

Which country is the highest polluter in terms of per capita waste? 🤫

[@RJKK]

Not surprising at all..our people throw garbage wherever they like...the rivers n ponds are for garbage disposal...the government cares the least.

[@karanthakkar04]

Vishwaguru bharat....

[@ansh_u_r]

That's a new propaganda...but yes India does need to be plastic free.

[@gandhibhagat285]

It shows total failure of the govts esp at the central. School teachers and students are being pressurized to give audio video reports on this issue every month. Swatchhta pakhwadas are celebrated and that is all . But in reality govts are not doing anything real for efficient waste management. There is acute shortage of Safai karamcharis . Machine usage is low. Karmcharis are underpaid and on low motivation. Waste segregation should start at Every House and proper disposal must be ensured. All companies should be forced to recycle or take back their packaging material. Plastics is in use at minutest places eg glitter in glues or sanitary or makeup products women use ...online shopping has increased the use of plastics. There is total collapse of waste management in India. No govt is ready to tackle this monster. Consumerism is increasing

[@libshastra]

Centre was the one that started taking this seriously after several decades of neglect. It won't be solved in one term, you build a STP today, it will take 6 years for you to see the benefits of it that will accumulate over time.

Very sad ...we already look like a garbage dump...there is hardly any corner in the country which doesn't have muck lying around and our citizens still throw chips packets and bottles out of cars ...

[@vinaykumar-ld3yi]

result of overpopulation & poor GDP

[@rise_above_hate2225]

How can this article be used for analysis of plastic pollution when they seem very clearly biased by underestimating emissions from high income countries ? That way India can be the least polluting if its plastic waste is underestimated. Is this the kind of source which should be called reliable. Plastic pollution is an issue and India needs to do things to adress it but this video didn't make any logic other than a propaganda.

India is always top in every bad things😂
