Industry Plastics industry must focus on proper waste management: Handique MUMBAI: Expressing concern over the rising environmental pollution, Mr B K Handique, Union Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilisers on Saturday asked the plastic industry to emphasise on proper waste management using latest technologies. "All stakeholders should innovate and find solutions for collection, segregation, recycling and reuse of post-consumer waste plastics to reduce environment pollution. Many recycling technologies have developed all over the world, we need to make good use of them," he said here at a function. Mr Handique said enhanced use of biodegradable polymers in the manufacture of non-critical, disposable commodities also needs to be encouraged and emphasis should be laid on research and development. He asked plastic exporters to dock higher value-added products in the coming years to realise better margins. India exported plastics to the tune of USD 3.18 billion in the last fiscal, of which 60 per cent came from exports of raw material. - PTI
