In order to comply with this plastic ban, the government has urged everyone to use eco-friendly alternatives that can come in handy when going out for grocery shopping or using things in everyday life. People should buy more khadi/jute/cloth bags for their shopping needs. If you are someone who cannot do without the straws, then opt for steel/paper/bamboo straws that are easily available these days. For the plastic cutlery, there are quite a lot of eco-friendly options available like bamboo cutlery and leaf cutlery. In the case of ice cream sticks, you can think of cones or bricks that seem feasible as well. In place for water bottles, one can go for steel or copper flasks that keep the water cool as well.
