India's government has introduced a ban on many single use plastics.
These disposable items are polluting rivers and poisoning animals.
Less than 70 percent of the four million tonnes of plastic waste which India generates each year is recycled.
The rest is dumped in rivers or in landfill sites.
Here, plastic fires add to air pollution.
Dr Suneel Panday explains that it lacks economic value.
The shift will lead to some job losses.
However, environmentally friendly alternatives will do well and promise new employment opportunities.
One such company, Ecoware, leads the way in ecological single use alternatives.
Its founder is Rhea Mazumdar Singhal.
In the streets of India, it's now common to see cows eating plastic waste.
Even wild elephants' dung is found to contain traces of plastic.
The widespread ban restricts production, sale and importation and includes plastic cups, straws and cotton buds.
The aim's for an even wider ban.
However, opposition to the ban exists.
Some believe that the higher prices of plastic-free alternatives make them unrealistic options.
The law, though, states that penalties include fines of $1,300 or 5 year jail sentences.
