Is Non Woven Fabric Banned In India?

In recent years, India has made significant strides in environmental conservation, leading to discussions around the use of various materials, including non-woven fabric. Non-woven fabric, widely used for bags, hygiene products, and other applications, is often scrutinized due to concerns about its sustainability and environmental impact.

The Current Scenario

As of now, non-woven fabric is not banned in India. However, the government has taken steps to regulate the use of single-use plastics, which has led to increased scrutiny of non-woven materials. Non-woven fabrics are often considered more eco-friendly than traditional plastics, as they can be made from recycled materials and are biodegradable under the right conditions.

Regulations and Guidelines

Several states in India have implemented regulations to phase out single-use plastics, including carry bags made from non-woven fabric. For instance, Delhi, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu have introduced guidelines to reduce plastic waste, which may affect the use of certain non-woven products. These regulations focus on encouraging the use of reusable and biodegradable alternatives.

Sustainability Efforts

Manufacturers and businesses are increasingly adopting sustainable practices in producing non-woven fabrics. This includes using recycled materials and promoting products that can be easily recycled or composted. The emphasis on sustainability aligns with the global trend towards reducing plastic pollution and promoting eco-friendly alternatives.

Conclusion

In conclusion, non-woven fabric is not banned in India, but it faces regulations aimed at reducing plastic waste. As environmental concerns continue to grow, the industry is evolving to meet sustainability standards. Consumers and manufacturers alike are encouraged to explore eco-friendly options and support practices that contribute to a greener future.

built from scratch for one night only - a true money can’t buy experience

Money can't buy. Once-in-a-liftetime. Wow.

How often do these phrases come up in a client brief? And how often is it truly a one-off experience? Incent India were tasked with that very challenge, and they delivered. Click here for a short video showing the results of their labour, and read on below. 

As if building a campsite with huts and comfortable beds for 150 guests for one night only wasn't enough, the client had a list of non-negotiables which presented their own challenges - three hot meals, hot showers, chilled Champagne in proper glass stems (plastic was banned), source mainly local materials and keep to the realistic cost estimate initially set out. 

Before building could even commence, a tribal village was temporarily relocated to the site. ThIs would ensure the wild elephants would become accustomed to the human presence here and would therefore keep away, along with additional security measures put in place. Finally, a hanging bridge had to be reconstructed as it was the only access point to the site.  

Seven site inspections and seventy days later, a fleet of twenty-five jeeps meandered up from the plains of Tamil Nadu, through the scenic Chinar Wildlife Sanctuary. They reached the finished campsite at the 1,000 m summit, surrounded by sandalwood forest and tea plantations.

A continental lunch with soup, an array of salads and French cheese boards was served on arrival. The group returned from sipping tea at a nearby plantation to find the site transformed for a magical, torch-lit evening feasting on tenderloin with all the trimmings, and of course that chilled Champagne. The troops gathered round the campfire to enjoy an Indian shadow puppet show and a modern take on Kathakali before retiring to their huts.

After hot showers and a hearty breakfast the following morning, it was already time to start dismantling the camp. 

The campsite's life was short-lived, but the impact and the memories created by Incent India will last a lifetime.

The art of artisanal pottery in Bangalore, by Saloni Arora

After years of loss, artisans have started making a profit in pottery making – it has more than doubled since last year. Each artisan used to earn about 500-600 rupees per day. With the ban on plastic, clay artists in Pottery Town in Bangalore have started earning around 2,000 rupees daily.

The art of pottery making in Bengaluru was on the verge of dying. Only 15 shops were left, out of 45 in the famous pottery town. The business declined by 50-60 percent two years ago. However, with the recent ban on plastic in the city by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), the consumers started shifting from the plastic items towards clay-made products.

According to Shodhganga, a reservoir of Indian thesis, potters’ craft is believed to be one of the oldest and most important traditional crafts of India. Pottery industry in the country brought about a few improvements in innovative techniques. It has not added features to the existing forms and various designs but perfected them in order to make them more useable.

The Karnataka State Handicrafts Development Corporation Ltd (KSHDC) was established by the Government of Karnataka in 1964 with the aim of preserving and nurturing the art and culture of the state, and improving the economic conditions of the artisans.

Bengaluru, the largest city in Karnataka State, also known as the ‘Silicon Valley of India’, has grown to be one of Asia’s fastest growing cities with the emergence of the IT industry. The Pottery Town in the city is over 100 years old, with families coming from states including Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh to run their business.

Renu, a customer at the pottery town stated that buying clay products is not only cheap but also environment-friendly. Besides that, it is important to safeguard our culture in this growing technological period.

Rajashekar, a state award winner in pottery making, who runs his business in the pottery town says, “The culture of pottery is not only important because it is an old and rich tradition of India but it protects our damaged environment. The pots get mixed up with soil within a few months after discarding.”
