Prohibition on plastic sachets: exporting gutkha or pan masala in plastic packaging contravenes plastic waste rules, exemption unavailable. The Plastic Waste (Management and Handling) Rules distinguish carry bags from sachets and prohibit plastic sachets and plastic material for packing gutkha, pan masala and tobacco; the export-oriented carry-bag manufacture exemption applies only to carry bags made exclusively for export and cannot be claimed by units manufacturing pan masala or gutkha, so exporting those products in plastic sachets would contravene the Rules.
