Ban The Damn Plastics!!!!

What can be a most important day in common man’s life, yes absolutely the day he was born and as it is rightly said that every man has a day , the same holds true for me as today is my day. So I was just thinking about my future and I was amazed by concluding that Life is becoming more and more cumbersome for a common man like you and me. Problems in common man’s life are growing even faster than economic growth of India. We have got problems like global warming, surging food prices, unemployment, and ever increasing rate of crimes etc , the never ending list, an abysmal pit that has been dug by human being himself without being aware of the havoc it is going to wreck in the future . And there is mounting public concern about longevity of plastics which gets into the rivers, oceans and landscape and cannot be destroyed by any means without harming the environment. Even though many of the plastic companies are coming ahead with recycling plastic plants, but it can never ever be collected entirely for disposal or recycling. Albeit there is lot of hue and cry to ban the plastics products especially carry bags, but have we ever given a thought of the way to put a ban on this , I was thinking the same before I happened to be in R.P Industries one of the master batch production organisation located in kirti nagar industrial area in the heart of India that is none other than Delhi. I met with Anuj Chabra (Director) of R.P Industries and visited his facilities of master batch production. And without any hassles i would admit that they have got one of the most advanced laboratory for extensive research on variety of master batches, producing unmatched quality while keeping environmental safety into consideration. I guess by this way they are taking full care of the corporate social responsibility and showing how much do they care for the society.
India’s master batch market stands at 90,000 tonnes per year and 10% of it contributed by R.P industries. I asked Mr. Anuj why did he choose to get into master batch production, and I was literally amazed with his reply that goes like this “who says we are in master batch production, we are in the business of making life colourful.” We provide various colours of master batch which add aesthetic appeals to the product of common man, today’s society is consuming lot of plastics and enjoying the benefit of its cost/performance ratio. I was partially satisfied and couldn’t restrain myself to put up another question to him that what about harm done by this catastrophic plastic to our environment. And I came to know that R.P Industries is likely to come up with Bio-degradable master batch by which plastic will self degrade in environment, particularly polyethylene and polypropylene. Their bio-degradation will be caused by formulations that promote oxidation in presence of oxygen. This is done by including at the extrusion stage a formulation which makes it degrade, and leaving no fragment, no methane and no harmful residues.
Therefore banning use of plastics is not a solution, spreading awareness about Bio-degradable plastics will help as this is scientific solution, and at the same time we people need to be responsible for not littering the plastics products on the landscape and instead throw it at a particular place from where it can be recollected and can be used for recycling. This in turn can do a great benefit for the society.
Once our scientist made a remarkable discovery by inventing plastics such as polyolefin’s with by-products of oil refining which used to be wasted, and this time it will be R.P Industries. There exist solution for every problem what we need is to be little bit innovative. And after all we should never forget the evergreen Indian saying that “boond boond karke sagar banta hai “ so it’s time to join hands together and be a part of something good. And definitely all hands together can work wonder. So what are we waiting for?
