The state government will be holding a meeting with plastic manufacturers,
brand-owners and retailers this week to look into the matter. The state
government had directed the manufacturers for the buy-back scheme, which also
involves new buy-back prices being printed on the products. "We have been
conducting inter-departmental meetings where various state agencies are working
on plans to collect and recycle plastic. (Photo: AFP) Mumbai: While the state
government maintains that it has laid down strict measures to implement the
plastic ban, the buy-back mechanism for collection of multi-layered plastic
packaging items has not yielded much success. We had directed the manufacturers
to chalk out a buy-back mechanism for multi-layered plastic packets, but have
only got response from three manufacturers till now,†said an official from the
state environment department. Dairies too have been asked to put in place a
buy-back mechanism for milk and related products’ pouches.State had given a
deadline to manufacturers to come up with a buy-back mechanism. According to the
state environment department, many manufacturers and brand-owners haven’t still
submitted their plans to implement the buy-back mechanism..While multi-layered
packaging is used for snack items like chips and biscuits, tetra-packaging is
used for beverages and liquid food items. "
