The Sustainable Plastic Waste Management Plan was launched by the Government of Himachal Pradesh in 2009 to systematically and aggressively deal with the environmental threat emanating from non-biodegradable waste. The ban on the use of plastic in Himachal Pradesh has proven to be effective and successful in developing a systematic system of disposing off plastic and using it in construction of roads thus making state of Himachal Pradesh free from plastic. The plan has made a big impact in building awareness and securing people’s cooperation and has encouraged people to take on the responsibility of cleaning their state and creating a plastic-free world.
