Abstract	The rapid escalation of plastic waste generation in India has necessitated stringent policy interventions and innovative governance strategies. Recent legislative updates, notably the sweeping amendments to the Plastic Waste Management (PWM) Rules, have introduced comprehensive bans on single-use plastics and mandated Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for manufacturers. However, enforcing these environmental regulations across a geographically vast and administratively diverse nation presents significant logistical and data-centric challenges. This paper explores the intersection of recent environmental policymaking and technological integration, proposing a novel, data-driven framework to monitor regulatory compliance. By leveraging machine learning and federated governance architectures, this study provides a comprehensive roadmap for tracking waste generation, ensuring corporate accountability, and ultimately mitigating the adverse climatic impacts associated with plastic pollution.
