To raise awareness on the ban on single-use plastic, all students, teachers and support staff of 75 government and private schools will bring plastic waste from home on September 21.

“All collected plastic waste will be deposited at an earmarked waste recovery centre where it shall be sorted, categorised and stacked. It shall be weighed as well,” she added.
