As a responsible organisation, we have always been cognizant of societal needs and looked for ways to address them. We are committed to finding improved solutions to reduce, recycle and recover that paves the way for a healthier environment. To achieve this goal, we have collaborated with various stakeholders across NGOs, academia, state governments and waste aggregators. At such festivals, tourists and local communities need to be informed about proper waste disposal; a recent example is our initiative in Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj. This year we managed approximately 6000 MTs of post-consumer multilayered packaging waste as a part of our commitment as Extended Producer’s Responsibility.
