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.

Individual and community actions:-
1. Refuse and reduce:- Say no to single-use plastics like straws, bags and cutlery. Choose
to buy in bulk and avoid products with excessive packaging.
2. Reuse: Use reusable water bottles, coffee cups, shopping bags and food containers.
3. Segregate waste:- Participate in local segregation efforts at the household level to help
waste management systems.

To remove plastic pollution in the state, a multi-pronged approach is needed, including government regulations like bans on single-use plastics and stricter procurement policies. This must be combined with improved waste management infrastructure and public awareness campaigns. On an individual level, residents can help by reducing consumption, choosing reusable items and participating in local segregation efforts.
