In a commendable move towards environmental conservation, an automatic paper bag making machine has been recently set up in Ruksin, East Siang district. This initiative marks a significant stride in reducing plastic dependency and promoting sustainable practices across Arunachal Pradesh. By introducing eco-friendly alternatives, it not only encourages local entrepreneurship but also fosters environmental awareness among communities.
The machine’s installation is expected to empower local self-help groups, small-scale businesses, and youth entrepreneurs to adopt greener production methods. Such initiatives reflect the growing consciousness in Arunachal Pradesh about balancing development with ecological responsibility. With the increasing threat of plastic pollution, steps like these can inspire other districts to explore sustainable innovations that align with the state’s rich biodiversity and commitment to environmental protection.

How can we stop plastic waste?
To control plastic waste, individuals can reduce, reuse and recycle by choosing reusable items, avoiding single-use plastics and properly disposing of waste. Community-level actions include participating in cleanups, supporting sustainable businesses and advocating for better policies. On a larger scale, systemic changes such as capping production and improving waste management infrastructure are also necessary.
