Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd., in partnership with the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC), unveiled recycled plastic benches and plastic collection bins at a ceremony held at the PCMC premises. The initiative, part of its flagship Bottles for Change programme, underscores the company's commitment to plastic waste management via collection and recycling.
The inauguration ceremony was graced by Ravi Babasaheb Landge, Mayor of Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation as chief guest, alongside Dr Pradip Thengal, deputy municipal commissioner & head of Health Department, Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation along with senior officials from PCMC's Solid Waste Management (SWM) Department and CSR Cell. The company was represented by K Ganesh, director – Sustainability & Corporate Affairs.
K Ganesh said, "Through sensitisation about waste segregation at source, awareness drives and engaging with institutions, Bisleri and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation have demonstrated a successful, practical avenue for waste management. Bisleri is committed to forging meaningful collaborations with various institutions to ensure that proper waste management becomes a norm rather than an exception in India.”
Landge said, “Our partnership with Bisleri is a testament to what corporations and governance bodies can achieve when they work together. The company’s initiatives in the city will deflect a significant amount of waste from landfills, raise citizens’ awareness about waste management, and build a foundation for a circular economy.”
Thengal said, “Our focus has been on building robust systems for efficient waste management at scale. Bisleri’s ‘Bottles for Change’ initiative is accelerating our progress towards a more sustainable and resource-efficient urban ecosystem.”
