The Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has brought out the National Draft Policy on Efficient Management of Resources.
The policy aims to achieve the following goals
100 per cent recycling of PET plastic by 2025
A total ban on disposal of any recyclable waste (plastic, metal, wood) into landfills by 2025
90 per cent recycling of all vehicles made after 2000 that have reached the end-life stage
For the first time in India, it introduces the idea of “extended producer responsibility”- i.e placing responsibility for a product's end-of-life environmental impacts on ‘producers’.
