Kerala High Court Urges Use of Glass Bottles Instead of Plastic at Weddings

The Kerala High Court has raised concerns over the widespread use of plastic bottles at marriage functions, emphasizing the need for stricter enforcement of the state’s plastic ban.

A division bench suggested replacing small plastic bottles with glass alternatives, citing their harmful environmental impact.

The Court was informed that gatherings over 100 people require a license, and a ban on plastic bottles below 500 ml is already in place. The government is considering an online reporting system for citizens to report violations.

The Court also addressed plastic waste disposal on railway tracks, directing Railways to ensure cleanup.
