I-Day award shields bear a message on repurposing plastic

TO encourage recycling of Multi-Layered Plastic (MLP) waste, which often ends up in landfills and harms the environment, the Coimbatore district administration and the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) have made eco-friendly award shields for this Independence Day.

The district administration honours people for their outstanding contributions and excellent public service by handing over shields every year during the Independence Day celebration.

This year, the Coimbatore district administration is going to hand over award shields made out of recycled MLP waste. The award shields, officials hoped, would be remembered by every awardee for their performances as much as their interest in plastic waste recycling to protect the environment.
