ABSTRACT
While plastic, which was once thought to be a revolutionary invention owing to its flexibility, strength, and cost-effectiveness, has today turned out to be one of the major threats to the environment, which the world is presently facing, owing to the fact that plastic is not biodegradable and hence causes great harm to the environment. In this context, many countries around the world, including India, have framed laws prohibiting the use of plastic in the environment. However, while it is important to frame the laws, it is equally important to implement the same, which can only be done with the involvement of the people at large.
This research paper is a socio-legal study, and the socio-legal study, in particular, is focused on the importance of awareness and attitude in the implementation of the plastic ban in India. In this context, it can be said that the major aim of this study is to understand the level of awareness and attitude in the implementation of the plastic ban in India and the level of contribution made by the people in the implementation of the plastic ban in India. In this context, the non-doctrinal method is used to obtain the required information, and the Google survey form is designed to obtain the required information.
In this study, the stratified sampling technique is also used to analyze the gathered information and understand the opinions of the people in the context of the use of plastics in the country. It is expected that the findings of this study would reveal the discrepancies between the legal measures and the contributions made by the people, the factors influencing the implementation of the plastic ban in India, and the effectiveness of environmental laws in the context of the use of plastics in the country. This research, in general, is focused on the importance.
Keywords: Plastic ban, plastic awareness, environmental compliance, single use plastics and sustainable alternatives.
