Gujarat town offers sops to root out plastic waste
The Morning Standard
|July 06, 2023
MAHUA municipality in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, has launched a one-of-a-kind initiative to make the town plastic-free.
By dumping plastic bags, milk, and buttermilk packages, citizens can earn money and incentives. They can earn ₹10 for every kilogramme of plastic, and ₹23 for every kilogramme of plastic bottles. Additionally, a kilogramme of plastic can also be traded for two kilogrammes of manure.
The municipality has established fourteen plastic collection centres spread across nine wards, where residents may actively discard their plastic waste.
The municipality has also developed a recycling factory with the help of private industry to recycle the gathered plastic garbage. In order to contribute to a greener and cleaner Gujarat, Rajiben Vankar, president of Sakhi Mandal, is leading a drive to rid villages of plastic garbage in conjunction with 60 other females.
