VK IAS- prelims (UPSC highlights)

#Economy ✅sugarcane - FRP Vs MSP 🅾️ For sugarcane, the FRP is the primary pricing mechanism used to ensure farmers are paid fairly and promptly. However you should also note that the MSP exists theoretically but its practical application is limited due to the perishability of sugarcane and the urgency to process it quickly. 🅾️The mismatch between rising FRP and stagnant MSP for sugar poses financial challenges for sugar mills, affecting their ability to make timely payments to farmers.

#SnT ✅Enzymatic Delamination Technology 🅾️Purpose: This technology is designed to enable the recycling of multi-layer aseptic packaging, which was historically considered non-recyclable due to its mixed material structure. 🅾️Mechanism: ⚜️Enzymes: Utilizes enzymes to break down the bonding between different layers of packaging materials. ⚜️Separation: This process allows for the separation of individual layers such as paper, polyethylene, and foil laminate 🅾️Outcome:-Recycling: The separated layers can be reused in the production of new products, thus making the recycling of aseptic packaging feasible and environmentally friendly.
