Plastic Bottles problem
Plastic bottles of cold drinks, drinking water is a major problem. As of now there is no mechanism to address this problem. Companies which sell drinking water and cold drinks get away with huge profits. And people who buy these are people with good income.
In most of European countries when one buys cold drink/drinking water, he/she must pay a deposit for plastic bottle, which one gets back after submitting bottle at vending machines placed at most of super markets.
In India also we government can and should make cold-drink manufacturing companies to establish a mechanism to collect bottles back. Companies can collect say Rs 5, as deposit per bottle and give it back once people put bottles back into vending machines. This way there will not be any bottles lying in opens as they have good value.
I guess this can give boost to Swatch Bharat and provide people a strong reason to believe that government is serious about Swatch Bharat more

i suggest that the companies manufacturing the drinking water will as for 2 rs more per bottle and the same will be reimbursed when it is returned the same. So that the company can do proper recycling and regenerate the same. more

I believe the law to ban plastic is the most ridiculous idea in the first place. Just because we do not have enough disposal/recycling facilities we ban the plastic bags. On one side we have an ecosystem that live on recycling and they just dont recycle plastic but all that can be recycled "THE RAG PICKERS". Wouldn't it be better to have a PPP recycling facility for plastics? If given right incentives and legal protection industry would be more than happy to install good capacities for recycling. We Indians have the least per capita consumption of plastic in the world because of our reuse of all the things that we use. Most of the products useful life in India is quite high. But still we choose to ban instead of giving proper incentive and protection to industry for doing the right thing thats RECYCLING. We have a large no of Solid waste recycling plants shut down because of the hue and cry of the local public. Where are we heading? We want to make the air quality good so we ban smoking in public but we dont ban cigarette manufacturing because of the taxes that the Govt earns from it. Why cant we have public smoking zones instead of banning smoking in public and putting those horrible pictures on the packets? Just because its easier though ineffective... more

सुझाव बेहद अच्छा है। और जब तक ऐसी व्यवस्था नहीं आती, तब तक हमे खुद ही अपने प्रयोग किए प्लास्टिक बोतल बाहर नहीं फेंकना चाहिए । more
