According to Global Cem Fuels, India wants to increase the use of scrap plastic in cement kilns. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has proposed a roadmap for implementing the new rules. It also wants to make manufacturers responsible for collecting waste generated from their products. 15,000 t of plastic waste are believed to be generated daily in the country but only 9,000 t of these are collected and processed.
