Waste management is a major challenge that’s being tackled globally. The Indian economy is no different. India is facing a major challenge when it comes to recycling non-environment friendly products such as single-use plastics. Keeping in mind the challenge, a few brands have taken up the onus of responsibility to create waste management solutions that can help solve the country’s waste problem.
