Tamil Nadu plastic ban effective from 01.01.2019 - A guide on what's banned and what's exempted

Chief Minister K Palaniswami officially made the announcement in the state assembly describing that late chief minister J Jayalalithaa had inaugurated an expert panel about banning plastic products, including bags, plates and cups. Traditional items such as plantain leaves and plates made of palm leaves will go into effect from the next year onwards.

Use of non-biodegradable plastic products, mainly polythene harms the environment, stopping the water flow and ruining marine life organisms. Burning plastics causes pollution and the only way to get rid of this is to ban them completely.
