💨 Abstract

The Delhi Directorate of Education has directed all government schools to phase out single-use plastics (SUPs) due to their non-biodegradable nature and harmful effects on the environment. SUPs clog drains, contribute to waterlogging, and can take up to a thousand years to decompose. The government has identified 19 SUP items, including straws, cups, and packaging films, to be phased out.
