Mumbai’s Plastic Ban: A Step Towards a Greener City
Mumbai, fondly known as the ‘City of Dreams’ and India’s commercial capital, is home to nearly 19 million Mumbaikars. Amidst the daily hustle, the city faces a growing environmental challenge—plastic pollution. Plastic bags and consumables, often discarded carelessly, have become a significant threat to Mumbai’s ecosystem. Recognizing this, the Maharashtra government took a bold step to address the issue, implementing a statewide plastic ban. At The Orchid Hotel Mumbai Vile Parle, we proudly support this initiative for a cleaner, greener Mumbai.
The Plastic Ban Initiative
On June 23, 2018, the Maharashtra government, under Environment Minister Ramdas Kadam, enforced a comprehensive ban on plastic products across the state. This initiative, aimed at protecting both people and the environment, prohibits the use of polythene bags and other consumable plastic items. The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board, in collaboration with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), strictly monitors compliance. In areas like Andheri, Borivali, and Malad, BMC officials have conducted surprise raids, penalizing vendors found with banned plastic products. Violators face heavy fines and up to three months of imprisonment, with strict orders issued to manufacturers and distributors to halt production and circulation of these items.
