The Indian government's plan to ban single-use plastic if enforced will affect nearly 10,000 plastic manufacturing units. The proposed ban will also have an imminent threat on the future of the 3-4 lakh employees working in this industry. By Gaurav Jalan, Founder-Director, Packman Printing and Packaging It is estimated that there are about 50,000 plastic manufacturing units in India and about 90% of these are MSMEs. This ban on single-use plastic will affect a large number of industries including FMCG, auto, infrastructure, and many more. Nearly 43% of the plastic usage is for packaging, and mostly single-use. India's FMCG sector, which is highly dependent on plastics, is expected to suffer the most.

Though there is still, no clarity on which things fall under the bracket of single-use...
