No 100% biodegradable plastic in India, claims misleading: BIS

Responding to a question from TOI, director general of BIS, Pramod Kumar Tiwari said, "It has not been established whether any plastic is actually 100% biodegradable. Research is still going on on this in the country and across the world. We had suggested to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the environment ministry not to issue any plastic product as biodegradable and they have accepted it."
