💨 Abstract

The Himachal Pradesh government has announced a ban on the use of 500ml PET plastic water bottles at government events and hotels from June 1, 2023. The ban is in response to the environmental damage caused by plastic waste and will apply to both government and private hotels. Alternatives like glass bottles, water dispensers, kiosks or stainless steel containers will be used instead. Violators may face fines.
