Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri has asked industry to adopt recycling of plastic waste.  He said the Marvel material of one-time plastic is now choking the ecosystem and societies must self-regulate before it becomes a menace which could further bring into a mass movement against it.

Inaugurating an International conference on plastics recycling and waste management: Opportunity and Challenges, in New Delhi today, the  Minister emphasised on solid waste management and said, urban rejuvenation has to be green and sustainable and government’s flagship programmes, including Swachhata Mission, are already making their impact in this way.
