5.BSK, a unit dedicated to processing plastic waste, falls under the supervision of the municipal corporation.
6.All waste plastic is converted into useful products, contributing to people-centric welfare schemes such as Plastic Dams and plastic-based goods.
7.The PWCP formula is intended to be replicated across the country, aiming for a plastic-free India within two years while utilizing other biodegradable waste as fertilizers.
8.Chanakya Bhaskar, the inventor, spearheads the PWCP initiative, deploying the first BSK model and constructing the world’s first plastic dam in Aravade Village, Sangli.
9.The results of PWCP include successful control of plastic pollution, waste plastic as a financial resource for the poor, financial opportunities from waste plastic, protection of animals, and India’s progress towards becoming a powerful nation committed to environmental preservation.

In waste management, handling non-degradable waste poses a significant challenge, making plastic waste management a critical issue. Plastic pollution has reached alarming levels globally, and existing technologies struggle to effectively control it. Although awareness campaigns are vital, the widespread use of plastics makes controlling pollution difficult. In response, our research focuses on Plastic Dams and WPPM Technology.
i) Plastic Dam Technique: The Plastic Dam technique is a unique and eco-friendly solution to plastic pollution, addressing air, water, and land pollution concerns. Additionally, it enables water conservation while tackling plastic waste. Implementing a Plastic Dam can lead to making 500 villages or 02 Municipal councils or 20% Municipal Corporations plastic-free.
ii) Waste Plastic Product Machine: Our Municipal council takes pride in being a role model for the Waste Plastic Product Machine Technology plant. This plant can process any type of waste plastic below 100 microns without segregation, converting it into useful products like plastic bricks, road dividers, and paver blocks. We successfully constructed the first plastic wall in J&K using these bricks, which also serve as insulation walls for social purposes. The technology comes in manual, semi-automatic, and automatic variants, adapting to the available plastic waste.
Both these innovative technologies hold immense promise in combatting plastic pollution. Relying solely on awareness campaigns may not suffice in controlling global plastic pollution. Thus, we aim to introduce the “Plastic Waste Control Project” to the world. This project involves selecting a polluted city, implementing plastic waste management using existing and innovative technologies, and then replicating this model in other cities with the government’s support, creating a “Clean City Model.” India serves as a role model for the PWCP, aiming to take the final step towards global cleanliness. so Our slogan is “Final Step towards cleanliness”.

a) The objective is to establish a role model in one city by integrating Plastic Dam, WPPM Technology, and existing technologies for effective plastic waste management.

b) Introduce a financial incentive scheme for waste plastic, operating in collaboration with the Bharat Swachhta Kendra (BSK).

c) The Bharat Swachhta Kendra (BSK) will serve as a dedicated unit for processing plastic waste, and its administration must fall under the purview of the municipal corporation.

d) All waste plastic should be completely converted into useful products that contribute to various people-centric welfare schemes, such as constructing Plastic Dams and producing plastic-based goods.

e) Implement the PWCP formula nationwide by replicating its successful model, ultimately aiming for a plastic-free India within two years. Additionally, explore the utilization of other biodegradable waste as fertilizers to further contribute to the “Swachh Bharat” initiative.

f) Chanakya Bhaskar, the visionary inventor, is actively leading the PWCP initiative. He successfully deployed the first BSK model in one municipal corporation, incorporating his groundbreaking invention, WPPM. Notably, he also achieved a significant milestone by constructing the world’s first plastic dam in Aravade Village, Sangli.

Plastic pollution has emerged as one of the most pressing environmental challenges facing the world today. The excessive use and improper disposal of plastic products have led to devastating consequences for our planet’s ecosystems and human health. Globally, it is estimated that more than 380 million tons of plastic are produced each year, with a significant portion ending up in landfills, oceans, and other natural environments.
In India, the plastic problem has reached alarming levels due to its rapidly growing population and industrialization. According to a report by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in 2018, India generated around 26,000 tons of plastic waste daily. Shockingly, only 60% of this waste was recycled, while the remaining 40% remained uncollected, leading to its dispersion in water bodies, streets, and open areas.
Rivers, lakes, and oceans in India are heavily contaminated with plastic debris, posing serious threats to aquatic life and biodiversity. Marine animals mistakenly consume plastic, leading to internal injuries, suffocation, and death. The problem extends to terrestrial ecosystems as well, with plastic waste choking and contaminating soil, affecting plant growth and overall ecosystem health.
Besides its ecological impact, plastic pollution also poses a severe risk to public health. As plastics break down into smaller microplastics, they can find their way into the food chain, potentially harming human health through the consumption of contaminated fish and other seafood.
Addressing the plastic problem requires a comprehensive approach involving government policies, industry responsibility, public awareness, and individual actions. India has taken significant steps towards combatting plastic pollution, including a nationwide ban on single-use plastics in 2019. However, the challenge remains in enforcing these regulations and promoting sustainable alternatives.
As a global community, urgent action is needed to curb the plastic crisis and protect our planet for future generations. By reducing plastic consumption, promoting recycling, and investing in sustainable packaging and waste management systems, we can collectively work towards mitigating the plastic problem and preserving the health of our environment and people.
