Indians can now leave their plastics at IOC fuel stations
One of India’s largest retailers has partnered with a local company to offer citizens a place to leave their plastic rubbish.
India suffers from growing pollution partly due to the lack of infrastructure to recycle and become more efficient. The Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has taken a step to help the country reduces its increasing emissions. The retailer has opened plastic waste collection points at all its gas stations in Bhopal City.
With the ‘Plastic Waste Management’ initiative IOC looks to offer a solution for many Indians who would like to recycle their plastics. The Indian retailer has partnered with Sarthak Sanstha to manage the waste, reports The Pioneer.
Executives at the event said that they would have to take the program to other cities of India to help with waste disposal around the country.
Sarthak Sanstha will use the recycled plastics for road construction and for the production of reusable items.
