Environment Ministry suggests different models for re-using plastic pens

The NGT was hearing a petition filed by Avani Mishra, who has raised a grievance against the unchecked use of plastic pens having an adverse impact on the environment. It is submitted that 91 per cent of the plastic waste so generated is not recycled and 1600 to 2400 million pieces are brought to the market every year. Stating that the extended producers` liability is not being duly enforced, the applicant has suggested that the policy of `buy-back` be introduced.
