The Devendra Fadnavis led state government enforced the ban after issuing the Maharashtra Plastic and Thermocol Products notification in March. Besides, the government had given the manufacturers, distributors, and consumers three months to dispose their existing stock.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, they also need to come up with alternatives to plastic usage. Besides, passengers (other parts of the country) staying in the state are expected to maintain caution while disposing plastic. To be specific, violators will be fined Rs 5,000 and Rs 10,000 for the first and second-time offence. Notably, a third-time offender will have to shell out Rs 25,000 and face imprisonment for at least three months.<\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/maharashtra-plastic-ban-1.webp 800w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/maharashtra-plastic-ban-1-300x200.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/maharashtra-plastic-ban-1-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/maharashtra-plastic-ban-1.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/maharashtra-plastic-ban-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/maharashtra-plastic-ban-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/maharashtra-plastic-ban-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-91830 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"plastic ban\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<h4>Plastic products covered under the ban:<\/h4>\n<p>* Plastic bags with a handle and without handle<br \/>\n* Disposable cups, and plates, spoons, forks, glasses, and containers<br \/>\n* Plastic packaging<br \/>\n* non-woven polypropene bags, pouches<\/p>\n<h4>Plastic items excluded from the ban:<\/h4>\n<p>* Plastic used for packaging medicines and drugs<br \/>\n* Food grade virgin plastic used for packaging milk<br \/>\n* Plastic bags used for exporting goods<br \/>\n* Compostable packaging bags used for horticulture and agriculture purposes<br \/>\n* Plastic used at the manufacturing stage<br \/>\n* Plastic used for handling of solid waste<\/p>\n<h3>Maharashtra plastic ban: Does it work?<\/h3>\n<p>Besides, the officials from Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) and district and local administration have been authorised to implement the new law.
