Bisleri International Partners With The Centre For Environment Education

Bisleri International, in collaboration with The Centre for Environment Education (CEE), unveiled ‘Towards Responsible Use of Plastics’, a manual for schools promoting sustainable use of plastics through the principles of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle in Mumbai.

Key topics covered include the composition of plastics, different types of plastics, the historical development of plastics, the impact of plastics on our oceans, the relevance of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), challenges associated with plastic waste disposal, repercussions on ecosystems and the food chain, legal frameworks governing plastic waste management and contemporary technologies facilitating large-scale plastic reuse.

“We are proud to present this book, that encourages responsible usage, disposal & recycling of plastic. This book is a key part of our commitment to sustainability, as outlined in Bisleri’s Greener Promise. I strongly feel that it will not only educate but also empower people and communities to make meaningful changes for a sustainable future”, Ramesh J Chauhan, Chairman, Bisleri International, said.
