Namakkal Corporation Launches Plastic-Free Initiative to Achieve Zero Waste

The Namakkal Corporation has launched a campaign titled ‘Plastic-Free City – A New Beginning for Namakkal Corporation’ as part of its push toward zero waste generation within city limits. The corporation unanimously passed a special resolution encouraging the use of alternative, reusable, and recyclable materials instead of single-use plastic items. This initiative emphasizes the principle of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and requires the use of eco-friendly alternatives at all functions and events held within the city.

The resolution mandates a shift toward zero-waste operations, requiring the corporation to promote and use eco-friendly alternatives. This includes serving council meetings using stainless-steel bottles, tumblers, and plates. The public is also urged to reduce plastic product use at all gatherings.
