2. LOOK AT THIS AND
THINK ABOUT IT……

3. PLASTIC’S USE
IN OUR LIFE:-
IT IS ESTIMATED THAT 1.6 BILLION
TONES OF CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2)
EQUIVALENT GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS WERE GENERATED FROM
SOLID WASTE TREATMENT AND
DISPOSAL IN 2016, OR 5 PERCENT OF
GLOBAL EMISSIONS. THIS IS DRIVEN
PRIMARILY BY DISPOSING OF WASTE
IN OPEN DUMPS AND LANDFILLS
WITHOUT LANDFILL GAS COLLECTION
SYSTEMS. FOOD WASTE ACCOUNTS
FOR NEARLY 50% OF EMISSIONS.
SOLID WASTE–RELATED EMISSIONS
ARE ANTICIPATED TO INCREASE TO
2.38 BILLION TONES OF CO2-
EQUIVALENT PER YEAR BY 2050 IF NO
IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE IN THE

4. RECYCLING
Plastic recycling encompasses a
number of processes through
which plastic waste is collected
and converted back into useful
products, instead of being simply
disposedof.
When we make a polymer, they
create carbon emission. Hence,
every manufacturer should be
follow the rules of EPR, and they
should avoid to re-create the
polymer again and again.

5. RECYCLEDPRODUCTS:-
ECO-FRIENDLY
&
SUSTAINABLE
PRODUCTS
Products made from recycled
plastic waste has lower Carbon
Footprint and costs much less
to manufacture while diverting
waste from landfills hence
recycled plastic products are
more sustainable and eco-
friendly
CREATING VALUE
OUT OF WASTE
Segregation & recycling plastic
waste help turnplastic waste
into granules which is further
used for manufacturing of
plastic products with
significantly higher in value
than it could have generated in
processof energy recovery.
GENERATES
JOBS
Recycling of plastic waste
strengthens the bottom of
pyramid by providing
employment to the labor force
& rag-pickers involved in
waste picking to segregation
to recycling.

6. EPR:-
Extended Producer Responsibility
(EPR) is defined asan
environmental protection
strategy that makes the
manufacturer of the product
responsible for the entire life
cycle of the product and
especially for the take back,
recycling andfinal disposal of the
product.

7. EPR inINDIA:-
 EPR in India began in 2012, for e-waste/electronic waste and gradually was
introduced for plastic as well. EPR challenges with implementation in India
are many given the volume of waste and the expanse of the country.
 India, implemented the EPR guidelines in 2016 covering plastic packaging
 It extended EPR to plastic manufacturers after the Plastic Waste
Management Rules 2016 (PWMR) were notified in 2016.
 EPR Registration in India has been recently mandated by the Central
Pollution Control Board of India.

8. HOW EXTENDED
PRODUCER
RESPONSIBILITY
WORKS !

9. Advantages of EPR:-
 Extended Producers Responsibility Plan reduces the effort of local
Municipalities for the physical and financial requirement of WASTE
MANAGEMENT.
 Promoting Recycling and use of re-furbished Product or parts thereof.
 Natural resources are limited so EPR is promoting the more efficient use of
 Improving material management.
 Beneficial for consumer
 Cost Effective.

11. CIRCULAR ECONOMY
A circular economy is a systemic approach to
economic development designed to benefit
businesses, society, and the environment. In
contrast to the 'take-make-waste' linear model, a
circular economy is regenerative by design and
aims to gradually decouple growth from the
consumption of finite resources. The circular
economy is a model of production and
consumption, which involves sharing, leasing,
reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling
existing materials and products as long as possible.
In this way, the life cycle of products is extended. In
practice, it implies reducing waste to a minimum.

12. Linear vs. CircularEconomy

13. BUTTERFLY
PATH OF
CIRCULAR
ECONOMY

14. We need to switch to a circular economy
 The world's population is growing and with it
the demand for raw materials. However, the
supply of crucial raw materials is limited.
 Finite supplies also means some EU countries are
dependent on other countries for their raw
materials.
 In addition extracting and using raw materials has
a major impact on the environment. It also
increases energy consumption and CO2
emissions. However, a smarter use of raw
materials can lower CO2 emission.

15. Advantages of CIRCULAR ECONOMY
 Creation of new green industries and jobs.
 Reduced dependence on importation of raw materials.
 Avoidance of environmental damage caused by resource
extraction.
 Less pollution entering the earth's life support systems.
 Recent research published in the Journal of Industrial Ecology
concludes that circular economy activities can actually
increase overall production,

16. Three Challenges to the Circular Economy
 Controlling life cycles efficiently. It
is no surprise that many products
are hard to disassemble or to
recycle.
 Making linked industries resilient.
Sometimes the resource loop
cannot be closed within one
industry. ...
 Keeping the environment on the
agenda.
