    Ban on plastics is welcome, since it is becoming a environmental hazard. However why not one can think of producing Biodegradable plastics as per article by Mr. Goldwin Fernandes [Published Date: September 7, 2012 Managlorean.com]. Hope this will be a remedial solution to consider. One has to look in this direction which is techno economically feasible. We have a number of patents available in US and some entrepreneur has to come forward with subsidy from State government on the concept to production.

    A ban will lead consumers to use paper bags instead. Although paper bags are made from a renewable resource and are biodegradable, their production generates more air and water pollution, and it takes more energy to manufacture and recycle them.
    Our state has more important and urgent issues to address rather banning convenient 100 percent recyclable products. Plastic bag recycling is a growing industry that can employee thousand, hence reducing the unemployment rate in state. The only thing government have to ensure that No one litters these plastic bags.. They need to create huge bins for disposal of plastic bags in various parts of city/town/ village and punish the people who do not abide.
