Committed to Cleaner, Greener India
Each one of us on the planet is a consumer. We consume products, services, food and everything else that nature and mankind has created. A by-product of consumption is waste – accompaniments that we do not consume – such as vegetable or fruit peels, packaging material, plastics, paper, amongst others. Managing this waste is a task. Inappropriate and inadequate management of waste and garbage has known to be the key reason for epidemics, terminal diseases and environment pollution.
