AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ON SINGLE-USE PLASTICS-2021
SOUTHERN REGION EVENT
Dear Sir/Ma’am,
We are pleased to inform you that the
Ministry of Environment, Forest &
Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India,
UN Environment
Programme,
GIZ, and
Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and
Industry (FICCI) are organizing a two month long national awareness
campaign on single-use plastics (SUPs). This campaign will comprise of four
on-line regional events and a social media campaign to spread the awareness
on the usage of SUP items and mitigation of plastic pollution.
Taking the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi ahead in
phasing out SUPs by 2022, Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change,
Government of India under the leadership and guidance of Hon’ble Union
Minister Shri Prakash Javadekar, has launched a “
National Awareness
Campaign on Single-Use Plastics” on 8th June 2021.
In this context, the campaign aims at creating awareness on single-use plastic
(SUPs) items, in a systemic manner, by not only emphasizing the need to
reduce usage of SUP items but also identify and engage with stakeholders
closely related to plastic waste management. We believe that it is awareness
generation that is requisite for bringing about a behavioral change with respect
to the usage of SUP items. The campaign is an attempt to highlight the present
status of plastic waste management with a focus on SUP items in the country
and how it can be effectively managed to reduce the harmful effects of littered
plastic waste.
Rapid urbanisation and consumerism have led to an increase in plastic waste
generation in the country. In such a scenario, we need to re-invent and find
plausible solutions for sustainable plastic waste management. The campaign
has identified the following themes to build on this comprehensive engagement:
(i) Information on SUPs, (ii) Alternatives to Plastics and Rethinking Packaging,
(iii) Value Chain Actors and (iv) Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
system.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are honoured to invite you at the
Southern Regional Event “
Awareness Campaign on Single-use plastics-
2021”.
The event is scheduled for July 27, 2021. There will be opportunities
for enriching deliberations with participation from MoEFCC, State
Governments, CPCB, SPCBs, Urban Local Bodies, Municipal Commissioners
etc. Focal members and experts from United Nations Environment Programme;
GIZ, technical experts, professionals, development partners, academia, civil
society organizations, have also been invited to intervene along the conceptual
theme (
