Clean up campaign

Date:-01 Nov 2008
Venue:-Ramagondanahalli


On the occasion of Kannada Rajyothsava, a Clean-up Plastic Campaign was organized on 1 November 2008. A few concerned voluntary organizations such Clean & Green, LIFE, Green Dream in association with K.K.Plastic Waste Management Pvt Ltd. organized this awareness campaign at Ramagondanahalli area near Whitefield.
Spearheaded by Ms.Roopa Sankaran of Clean & Green, a team of volunteers enthusiastically cleaned up plastic waste from garbage bins and roadside dumps in the locality. Mr.K Rasool Khan of K.K.Plastic spoke to the residents of Ramagondanahalli and made them aware of the dangers of plastic lying in their locality. He demonstrated how food waste remains rotting inside plastic bags making them useless for rag pickers and plastic recyclers. He emphasized on the need to segregate non-degradable plastic and bio-degradable waste before handing it over to the garbage collectors.

K.K.Plastic has been doing the yeoman service by picking plastic waste from garbage and reusing it in its bitumen road laying process. Many of the roads in the Bangalore city corporation limits are laid by this bitumen and plastic blend technology which lasts longer than the normal roads. K K Plastic has also helped Clean & Green team to clean up tourist spots such as Mutthathi and Nandi Hills earlier this year.
