Researchers lend hope to Kanpur plastic industry
The government may not be able to rescue the inflation-hit plastic industry, but researchers at Pantnagar University have lent a ray of hope to it. The environment ministry had recently asked the plastic manufacturers to express their views as to why should the production of plastic packets smaller than the size of 18’ by 12’ not be banned?
