• How warranted is this idea in your opinion?

We need to impose a new tax on manufacturers who pack their products in non-degradable materials. It has become impossible these days to buy something without a little waste attached with it. Therefore, I feel it is a good idea to impose some waste management tax on manufacturers.

Our life has come to a new phase, where waste has become a by-product of our comforts, and since there seems to be no U-turn from this state of affairs, we need to find ways to recycle or manage the wastes that get generated on a daily basis. Moving and managing waste has become a severe headache to the corporations, municipalities and local self government organs all over the country. Also, there are innumerable instances of fund and infrastructure shortage to manage the waste. Coupled with these is the outbreak of contagions.
Waste management tax is highly warranted. It goes without saying.

Coming to who is to be held responsible for this: the consumer or the manufacturer? I think it is the duty of the manufacturer to chip in a share of his profit to raise a national fund on waste management. It is not civic to let any organization: local, national, or multi-national, come up and operate their businesses anywhere and go scot-free when it comes to the after-effects of their products’.

To conclude it, there needs to be a new tax regime to earmark a sizeable share from the turnovers of all manufacturers, and allocate those funds for the wise management of wastes. This is primarily for the general well-being of the public.
