India has taken resolute steps to reflect its commitment towards elimination of single-use plastics and it has also taken leadership in international fora to channel global attention towards the pollution they cause, Union Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Ashwini Kumar Choubey has said.
He was speaking at the two-day national Eco Alternatives Expo and Start-Up conference organised by the Tamil Nadu government here on Tuesday.
Mr. Choubey said the issue of single-use plastics was very challenging and the two-day conference would provide some solutions towards addressing it. He said the State and Central governments would work together and strengthen the federal structure.
