India's imports of plastic waste and scrap amounted to some 78,000 metric tons in 2023, a slight decrease in comparison to the previous year. Plastic waste imports into the South Asian country reached a record high of approximately 260,000 metric tons in 2013. After that, Indian imports saw a mostly downward trend until they plummeted in 2020, following a ban on the import of plastic waste to promote the management of domestic waste.
