Bengaluru Boosts Low-Value Plastic Segregation

Bengaluru is doing a better job at separating low-value plastic from other trash.

They started on October 20 and now separate 380 metric tonnes every day.

Before, this plastic was sent to a waste-to-energy plant, but now a cement company called Dalmia Cement is taking it to use in their factory.

This helps reduce the amount of trash going to landfills.

The city produces 6,000 metric tonnes of waste daily, and about 45% of it is dry waste.

The goal is to separate 1,000 metric tonnes of low-value plastic each day, which will make Bengaluru cleaner and help the environment.
