Get a cup of tea free in exchange for plastic bottle
Vijayapura (Karnataka): In an attempt to create awareness among citizens and reduce plastic pollution, Indira Canteens in Vijaypura are offering a cup of tea in exchange for a plastic bottle.
The city administration came up with this idea to curb plastic-use and seek cooperation from its citizens to ensure a clean society.
“This is a programme to complement the nationwide-drive launched to curb single-use plastic,” said City Corporation officials.
The plastic bottles from the canteens are then sent to JK Cement factory in Bagalkot to be mixed with cement and increase its quality.
The initiative was introduced after there was a sudden increase in the use of plastic.
Recently, the corporation officials also seized around 14 tonnes of plastic from retail and wholesale stores.
Everyday around 400 kg of plastic is collected at the solid waste management site in the city.

Throwing bottles everywhere creates health issues
If we bring four plastic bottles, the city corporation will give us a cup of tea
This is a good program, I wish every district of the states follows this
These plastic bottles are being sent to Cement factory
I hope District administration's program will be useful
