This 'National Cleanliness Day' Bisleri pledges through #Bottlesforchange

~ Recycle Today for a Better Tomorrow ~

Bisleri's Bottles for Change that aims to educate the citizens about the importance of recycling plastic in our lives has recycled over 5000 tons of plastic since its inception in 2018. This National Cleanliness Day, ‘Bottles for Change’ is all set to educate the citizens of Mumbai about the importance of recycling plastic through their recently launched Mobile App.

The app aims to bring the Citizens and the Plastic Collecting Agents (Kabadiwallahs/NGOs) under one roof. It provides a hassle-free option to the citizens to search and approach a nearby plastic agent to handover their clean plastic which is further sent for recycling. The process helps in the making of products like t-shirts, caps, shoes, bags, recycled benches that are placed across Mumbai by the initiative.
