Here in India, each and everything is packaged in plastic. It's a huge shame! There are many things which don't need to be even packaged but still they'll be packaged in plastic.

Plastic's manufacturing price is immensely low. Also, "recyclable" plastic is seen as eco-friendly which is not. "Recycled" plastic is eco-friendly today.

There's a huge need to disallow all new plastic, and have immense R&D on recycled materials and force public back to using reusable instead of use and throw things.
