`Banyan Nation': Meet Hyderabadi anti-plastic warriors who bagged World Economic Forum award

Hyderabad-based `Banyan Nation' has embarked on a mission to rid the city of plastic pollution. The organization recycles around 500-600 tonnes of shampoo bottles, oil bottles, detergent containers, and more. All of these fall under the category of high-density plastics such as polyethylene or polypropylene. These can be recycled and used again multiple times. "India's environmental crisis is vastly triggered by not recycling plastics that can be recycled. This is where Banyan Nation steps in. We wanted to tackle the waste management system and we began will recycling what can be recycled," says Rashi Agarwal, Director of Banyan Nation.
