Safai Bank of India, a name synonymous with Mumbai’s battle against plastic, collected 1.72 lakh multi-laminated plastic (MLP) wrappers in its first collection drive of 2023. With this, the organisation, which mimics the structure of banks, stopped 190 kg of MLPs from reaching the city’s landfills.

The drive was undertaken by Safai Bank with the help of volunteers from three city schools, one college and a few commercial establishments and housing societies. The volunteers included two branches of Children’s Academy in Malad and Thakur Complex in Kandivli; St Joseph’s School in Wadala; Ramniranjan Jhunjhunwala College in Ghatkopar; Marathon Era housing society in Lower Parel; Rishi Gardens society in Malad; World Wildlife Federation (WWF) in Lalbaug; and D-Ert store in Bandra.
