Mangalore, Aug 6: “Bio-degradable plastic is the need of the hour as the usage of other plastic has been found to be poisonous. The state government is also planning to ban the thin plastic which is not bio-degradable”, said state environment minister Krishna J Palemar on Wednesday August 5.
 
He was speaking in a programme at the press club organized by Everest Plastics Industries, Kulshekar, as part of its launch of ‘D2W-oxo-biodegradable plastic’. Palemar said that the awareness about the problems of plastic should start from schools and the usage of degradable plastic should also be encouraged. 
 


Palemar handed over the certificate of registration to Cynthia Fernandes, proprietor of Everest Plastics Industries.
 
Errol gave a brief introduction of the product. He said that the plastic D2W was degradable after usage and could be disposed in a landfill leaving no harmful residue.

He added that the company had introduced this product after seeing the problems caused by plastic waste.
 
Agnel Rodrigues from Ad-venture Media conducted the programme.

    Congrats to M/S Everest Plastics for being the first company in South Kanara to introduce ‘D2W-oxo-biodegradable plastic’. we should remember that responsible use of plastics will save rain forests. It is important for the State Authorities to set up Plastic biodegradable centres, so that common citizens can recycle plastic and associated waste, and create wealth out of waste.

    The need of the hour is to use Gunny bags or jute bags which are natural and envoirenment friendly. Even cloth bags will do these days people do not want to carry anything while going shopping and will be getting load''s of stuff in plastic bags.
