Just weeks after the ban of single-use plastic, the Tamil Nadu government has proposed to ban multilayered plastic such as the ones on biscuit packets, shampoos, and creams. Not just that, but several companies have been issued notices saying they can’t market their products packaged in plastic. If you thought this is harsh, the companies are also supposed to collect and dispose of the packaging material!
