“Don’t throw away that empty chips packet”

What do you do with the empty packets of biscuits and chips after eating them? “So far, we were buying plastic wastes for road laying purpose. Since last week, we have been collecting household plastic wastes from the 11 divisions of the zone for road work where we have environment clearance,” said S. Elangovan, assistant commissioner, Zone XIV. “By starting this initiative, we have considerably reduced the dumping of plastic wastes into the Perungudi dumping yard. At Madipakkam, 89 tri-cycles are involved in collecting plastic wastes from the four divisions and nearly 26.7 kilos of shredded plastic is generated every day.
