Plastic Waste Control Project (PWCP)
Requirements of the Swachh Bharat Mission
Here are the key requirements for the Swachh Bharat Mission, as part of our Plastic Waste Management Solutions:
i. Financial Incentive for Plastic Waste: We must create a financial incentive for waste plastic. This gives economic value to what was once zero-cost pollution, which helps to meet the needs of the poor.
ii. PWCP and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan: It is necessary to establish a Plastic Waste Control Project (PWCP) as a branch under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
iii. Plastic Products for Social Welfare: The PWCP should produce useful plastic products that are then used in social welfare schemes for public benefit. For example, these can be plastic-based goods or even Plastic Dams.
Role of PWCP Members in Waste Management
Here are the key roles within the Plastic Waste Control Project (PWCP):
i. Plastic Collection: Members receive waste plastic and pay the person Rs. 10 per kg for it. The collected plastic is then stored in a specific place near the Waste Plastic Product Machine (WPPM).
ii. Product Manufacturing: The WPPM is used to make useful plastic products. These include plastic bricks, mile stones, road dividers, and road signs.
Concept of Bharat Swachhata Kendra (BSK)
“The Plastic Waste Control Project (PWCP) is a new concept. It requires creating a new branch under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. The project involves selecting students or people who are under the poverty line. These individuals can take up a part-time job under an ‘earn and learn’ scheme. In fact, any person in India can be involved in the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.”
“The Plastic Waste Control Project gives a specific rate for waste plastic material and polythene. This rate is set at Rs. 10 per kg. The project will accept waste plastic and store it in an authorized place. It will then use a Waste Plastic Product Machine (WPPM) to create products. These products are used in people’s welfare schemes. Ultimately, this structure employs poor people and those under the poverty line.”
“Furthermore, the project includes arranging educational programs. This helps provide information to the public about the entire concept.”
The Role of Bharat Swachhata Kendra in “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan”
“The Plastic Waste Control Project is creating a possible financial demand for waste plastic. This waste is available in public places, rivers, and oceans. The project aims to help every person in Team India create a Clean India.”
“ROLE OF EVERY PERSON: We encourage every individual to play a role. Men can use the left side pocket of their pants, and women can use one compartment of their purse for waste plastic they create themselves. After use, it can be put in authorized places. The Plastic Waste Control Project offers to pay Rs. 10 per kg for this waste. This provides a way to earn money and learn.”
“Many children in India cannot get an education because of money problems. Also, many families are struggling with basic needs. Giving a financial value to waste plastic garbage is a great option for people to earn money and complete their basic needs.”
“ROLE OF EVERY FAMILY: Families can collect plastic waste from their homes in a single bucket. They can then earn money at the rate of Rs. 10 per kg through the Plastic Waste Control Project. When this concept starts on the ground in India, it will create a new way to earn money from collected waste plastic because of its financial demand.”
