Effective policy mix for plastic waste mitigation in India using System Dynamics
Abstract
The paper models various policy mix impacts on the plastic waste stock in India. Four policies and their combinations are simulated using System Dynamics model. Plastic ban is a detrimental policy without adequate monitoring and substitutes. Phased kerbside recycling with unit disposal fee is the most effective policy mix. The paper equips policymakers with a roadmap and novel insights on policy mix.
