THE PRESIDENT SAYS SAYS

One more ban on plastic

s you know Plastic Industry is reeling under tremendous pressure of various

Abans, especially under prevailing situation where many of the state government
are banning plastics on one or the other pretext, without putting in place the latest
Plastic Waste Management Rules’2016. Adding to this, a Public Interest Litigation

under Article 32 of the Constitution of India before the Supreme Court of India at
New Delhi was filed by Mrs. Almitra H. Patel and Capt. J. S. Velu, in the NGT for
Plastics Waste Management which ended with a Judgement directing ban on SHORT

LIFE PVC PRoDUCTS AND CHLoRINATED PLASTICS. The judgement is available on AIPMA
website for all our members
HAREN SANGHAVI

AIPMA the apex body of the Plastic Industry has filed an application in the Supreme
Court with all relevant technical data to fight this case too.

See the different bans on Plastics and the troubles that industry is facing, AIPMA has
geared up to file a PIL in the Supreme Court to put a STOP to ALL BANS on Plastics.

As it is a humongous task I request the industry to support us in this industry cause.
Technical support has been sought from various quarters.

I urge all Associations and Stakeholders to extend their support to AIPMA by way of
Technical and financial inputs.

on the Growth front you will be glad to know that Foreign Direct Investment in India
has been close to Rs.850 Crores between Jan’2016 and Dec’2016. It is a major surge

of faith in Indian companies by our international Friends.

More to follow soon……
