Used plastic is not a waste.
It’s an opportunity

bottle-for-change

Plastic is a miraculous material that we invented from petroleum derivatives. Recycled plastic can be converted into polyester which is used to manufacture Shoes, T-shirts, bags, chairs etc., thereby causing less strain on natural resources. The only problem with plastic is its irresponsible human handling in its disposing. We recognize how well plastic can work for us & you if utilized properly. Keeping this in mind, we launched ‘Bottles for Change’.

60% of plastic waste is recycled in India & we strive to make it 100%.

percent plastic recycled

India consumes 13 million tons of plastic every year, out of which 60% is recycled. Rest 40% of plastic majorly contains non-recyclable items like Wrappers, Plastic bags, Milk pouches, Multilayer chips packets etc. These plastics can be recycled several times but there are hardly any efforts made because of their lightness & dirtiness. They are dumped in dump yards to lie there forever and cause problems for the environment.
The plastic recycling process refers to the processing of plastic and turning it into a new item altogether. It includes cleaning the plastic, cutting it into flakes and then melting it at high temperature for moulding it for desirable use.

1 Creating awareness
program-01

Through this program, citizens are informed about the importance of source segregation and cleaning plastic after its use. Various housing societies, corporates, school/colleges, hotels, restaurants participate in this awareness. Bottles for change program talks about the significance of not treating plastic as a waste because every bit of plastic is recyclable. Propagation of this understanding in people would be helpful to establish the fact that plastic is a valuable resource and not something that belongs in the waste bin.

2 How to segregate and dispose of plastic correctly?
program-01

After awareness, citizens and housekeeping staff are trained in source segregation and plastic cleaning after its use. Fortunately, every household in our country has a housekeeping person who collects the household plastic waste from the doorstep. Our model astutely uses this link to stop used plastic from going to the dump yards.

3 Recycling chain takes over
program-01

The housekeeping person of our respective stakeholders collects segregated plastic on a designated day and gives it to the registered Kabadiwala or collection partner under the ‘Bottles for Change’ program. Kabadiwala pays them by market rates for all plastic. Later, Kabadiwala sells this collected plastic to the area aggregator and gets paid for the same.

Do your part and save the planet!

We at Bisleri are well aware of how plastic adversely affects the planet. So while that is the truth, we are doing as much as possible to ensure we do not add to it. We, however, need to make a consolidated effort to make a huge impact. So, join us at Bisleri and be a part of our plastic recycling program.

We’ve started a ‘Bottles for Change’ initiative, which we would love for you all to be a part of. The idea of this initiative is to ensure that we dispose plastic correctly and increase awareness about waste segregation, plastic disposal, recycling plastic bottles and the required best practices towards maintaining a cleaner environment to live in and share. To optimise our reach, as a part of the bottles for change program and plastic recycling program we conduct plastic recycling awareness drives, waste plastic collection drives in schools, colleges, corporate offices, malls, festive & social gatherings, events, etc.

Unless we are the change, the change does not occur. So do not WASTE time and join the bottles for change program and plastic recycling program.
