Rotary Club of Palava under the leadership of Rtn. Ankit Kankane(President 2021-2022), Project Lead Tasneem Gari along with The Green team and Royal Super Market(RSM) Mall has taken the initiative to create awareness around the disposing of plastic milk bags and its harmful effects in environment.
Plastic waste creates much damage to environment, the plastic bags used for milk packaging most of the time get overlooked and are not disposed properly. Apart from creating smelly situation by the residue milk that remain in those plastic bags, they are also very harmful. for eg. when cut open from the coroners, usually the snipped off part is thrown and become part of the garbage, these small pieces are so small they are often neglected during recycling since there is no mechanism to stop such waste.
With the awareness initiate by Rotary club of Palava and The green team and RSM Mall, people are being educated on how to handle those snip plastic and they are also being recommended to clean the plastic bags and donate it. These donated bags will then further be sent to recyclers for recycling
This is the first of its kind initiative in Palava. The Green team is helping a lot to create awareness in society so people purchasing milk packets can drop those milk packets which then later can be recycled to prepare bin, benches and other useful plastic items.
