Ban on plastic returns in Sivakasi

Sivakasi Municiaplity has re-enforced the ban on use of plastic items lesser than 40 microns in thickness. The ban will be effective from 1st June 2015, Monday. Sivakasi Municipality had earlier enforced the ban in 1st January 2012 and in August 2013. Despite the ban, many small shops in Sivakasi continued to use thin plastic bags. Customers later dumped these bags around garbage bins, which ultimately clogged storm water drains. The ban is back in Sivakasi. Sivakasi Municipality enforced a major eco-friendly move by banning the use of polythene carry bags in Sivakasi Town from 1st June 2015. Action would be taken to prevent carrying of polythene bags. A fine will be imposed on anyone violating the ban.
