Summary
Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Sitamarhi's plastic recycling initiative in his 'Mann Ki Baat' address, highlighting how the Bihar district transforms single-use plastic waste into public infrastructure like benches. This model, which converts low-value plastic into durable products, demonstrates a viable "waste to wealth" approach and offers a solution for plastic disposal in areas with limited formal waste infrastructure, aligning with India's circular economy goals and Extended Producer Responsibility framework.
