India CSR to organize Plastic Waste Dialogue on August 29 in New Delhi
India CSR, the largest news network on CSR and Sustainability in India is organizing Plastic Waste Dialogue on August 29, 2019 in New Delhi in association with Gonative and United Way India Plog Run.
The Dialogue will involve some of the most reputable and competent national and world-renowned speakers from industries, CSR, non-profit organizations, international agencies, academia, and research organisations.
India’s annual plastic consumption is expected to cross 20 million tonnes in 2020. India consumes an estimated 16.5 million tons of plastic annually, as per a report.
In all, 80 percent of total plastic produced in India is discarded. It mostly ends up choking landfills, drains and rivers and flows into the sea where it is ingested by marine animals. It leaches into soil and water, contaminating the natural environment with poisonous dioxins.
Effective management of plastic waste therefore is crucial to do away with environmental hazard caused by plastics.
A nationwide Plogging campaign will be announced at the dialogue.
