CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Bhopal. Bisleri International has partnered with two leading colleges of the University of Mysore to promote responsible management and recycling of plastic waste. The company has signed letters of participation with Mysore-based Maharaja College and Yuvaraja College. The collaboration has been taken up under Bisleri’s environment protection initiative, “Bottles for Change”. Its aim is to make students aware of proper disposal, segregation and recycling of plastic waste.
Awareness programmes and workshops will be organised under this partnership. Bisleri will provide both colleges with training and guidance related to plastic waste management and recycling. Students, teachers and staff of the colleges will also take part in these activities. Awareness sessions, workshops and plastic collection drives will be held on the campuses. Through these programmes, students will be told why it is important to collect used plastic bottles and other plastic material for recycling instead of throwing them away as waste.
Emphasis will be placed on student participation. According to K. Ganesh, Director, Sustainability and Corporate Affairs, Bisleri International, educational institutions play an important role in bringing positive changes in the thinking and behaviour of young people. Through this initiative, students will be encouraged to become responsible towards the environment and spread awareness in their communities.
The “Bottles for Change” programme is aimed at better management of plastic waste by collecting it in an organised manner and sending it into the recycling process. The partnership with the two colleges of the University of Mysore is a step towards developing the habit of waste segregation on campus and making environmental protection a part of daily life.
