Investors’ meet on recycling industry

KOCHI - The Confederation of Indian Industry in partnership with Suchitwa Mission and the Government of Kerala is organising a one-day investors meet to promote recycling industry in the State on January 13.

The meet will mark the beginning of efforts to extend the involvement of the industry in the mission through the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility envisaged by the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 and Electronic Waste Management Rules, 2016.

The meet is conceptualised as a platform where business, government and civil society come together and rethink and rewrite the role of each, towards sustainable management of resources.

This is the first time an EPR-cum-Recycling Industry Investors’ meet is being organised in the State. The 3R principles and Zero Waste form the basis of the strategy adopted by the government for waste management. Details are available on http://www.sanitation.kerala.gov.in/images/waste_book.pdf

Entry to the meet is by invitation only and prior registration is compulsory. For more details, phone: 0484 4012300 or anuradha.ganesh@cii.in
