Furniture made from used cartons at Supari Tank Municipal School in Bandra
As part of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC's) ongoing initiative of promoting recycling of waste, students of Supari Tank Municipal School in Bandra have got new chairs and desks made entirely out of used food cartons. The civic body has tied up with RU Greenlife, a company that designs sustainable waste management solutions and is planning to build more benches for all municipal schools in H-west ward.
The BMC had earlier set up a collection centre at the school. In a bid to spread awareness about waste segregation, around 550 students were asked to collect cartons from their neighbourhood over the past month; they were able to get 4,500. The company then made sets of tables and chairs and donated them to the school.
