"It’s impossible to run the business without plastic."Some sellers are frustrated over the move, so much so that they are ready to pay the fine.While buyers have welcomed the move, paying for a bag every time is not something they are fond of. "First off all, there is no clarity on what items are banned.  Sellers across the city are in a state of dismay over the plastic ban, with small retailers facing major problems.  Manish’s main concern is packaging material as carry bags can be replaced with cloth bags or brown paper bags. A non-recyclable product, it makes its way through our drains causing blockages, while some reach the sea and disrupt the marine ecosystem. But it’s impossible to ban plastic without giving us a proper alternative. Now we won’t be able to sell the local chips, we will only have to sell the company packs," he says. But they should ban commercial packaging as well.

When delivering food we need to package in plastic and give plastic spoons, there is no other option," says Mansoor Fallah, a helper at a restaurant. I’m ready to pay the fine, but can’t give up plastic. Mala Shinde, a resident of Wadala, says, "It is a good step, but now we have to pay money for a bag in the store.
