The CPCB’s recent advisory on compostable plastics underscores their commitment to reinforcing the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 (as amended). Issued on October 23, 2024, to all Member Secretaries of State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) and Pollution Control Committees (PCCs), the advisory mandates that only CPCB-certified manufacturers are authorized to produce compostable plastic products. Compliance with labeling, specifically the “COMPOSTABLE IS/ISO 17088 Certified” mark and QR code usage, is essential. 1️⃣ The CPCB outlined three primary actions in this advisory: Directives Issued to Authorities: Ensuring that all state and central authorities actively participate in enforcing these requirements. 2️⃣ Publicity of the Advisory: The CPCB advises to widely publicize the advisory to raise awareness about compliant compostable plastics and certified manufacturers. 3️⃣ Regular Surveillance: SPCBs and PCCs are encouraged to perform consistent monitoring to ensure adherence to the guidelines. Additionally, CPCB has shared a list of registered compostable plastic manufacturers. 📍 View here: https://lnkd.in/dywMAw-d This move signals the CPCB’s intent to enforce stricter compliance measures for these manufacturers, with repercussions for non-compliance clearly stated as part of the certification conditions.
