According to bottled water brand Bisleri, India consumes 13 million tonnes of plastic annually, out of which 60% is recycled. The remaining 40% of plastic mostly contains non-recyclable items like wrappers, plastic bags, milk pouches and multilayer chips packets.
To reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills and water bodies, Bisleri International under its sustainability initiative introduced a programme "Bottles for Change", which includes a mobile app to connect citizens, plastic collection agents and recyclers to promote plastic recycling in India.
