Namakkal Corporation launches campaign for plastic-free city

The Namakkal Corporation has launched a campaign titled ‘Plastic-Free City – A New Beginning for Namakkal Corporation’ as part of its efforts to achieve zero waste generation within Namakkal city limits. It recently passed a resolution in this regard during the council meeting.

As the first step towards eliminating use of single-use plastic items, the corporation has decided to promote and use various eco-friendly and reusable alternatives.

A special resolution was placed before the council to encourage the use of alternative materials instead of single-use plastic products. The resolution also emphasised the importance of reducing plastic waste at various functions and events, including weddings, by replacing it with reusable and recyclable alternatives and the principle of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). The resolution was passed unanimously by the Council.
