Continuing its fight against single-use plastic, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) will implement a ban on the use of cling film and plastic cutlery by app-based food delivery companies and online grocery stores in Bengaluru.
The plastic ban will be implemented as per the Solid Waste Mangement (SWM) bye-laws from September 1.

The BBMP SWM bye-laws maintains that “strict action will be taken to close and seal the premises/ suspend or even cancel the trade licence of those violating shops and establishments who continue to use banned plastic even after repeated warnings”.
