Monday, 21 September 2020 | PNS | Dehradun

With an objective of environmental protection and promotion, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Rishikesh has set up a plastic bank to recycle its waste. The institute has entered into an agreement with CSIR- Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) Dehradun and Social Development for Communities Foundation (SDC) for the purpose.

The plastic deposited in the Institute will be recycled at CSIR-IIP Dehradun and petrol and diesel will be prepared from this waste.

The agreement was signed by the Institute's director Ravi Kant, CSIR-IIP director Anjan Ray and founder of SDC, Anoop Nautiyal, at the meeting held at AIIMS. Under the agreement the single-use plastic waste coming out of the Institute will be deposited in the plastic bank and transported to IIP Dehradun for recycling.

Speaking on the occasion, the AIIMS director Ravi Kant said with this initiative the institute is connecting with yet another public and environmental interest work. He informed that the Institute will extend its full cooperation and participation in the scheme of Plastic Bank.

The IIP director Anjan Ray said that IIP is continuously developing its own technology of plastic recycling. IIP will also start recycling masks, globs and PPE kits being used extensively so that the above materials can also be disposed of properly.

The SDC founder Anoop Nautiyal expressed satisfaction that two reputed central establishments of Uttarakhand are coming together in this noble cause of environmental protection.
