Award for smart solid waste management
An award for best practices in solid waste management has been instituted by the Bangalore Chamber of Industry and Commerce (BCIC) for its member companies.
The most innovative model in solid waste management will be honoured by the jury under the chairmanship of C.S. Kedar, Additional Chief Secretary. An evaluation approach has been developed by The Centre for Sustainable Development (CSD) for the applications that will be received, according to a release. Winning companies will be honoured at the 36th BCIC annual general meeting, which will be followed by a handbook listing out the best practices adopted by winners, to inspire other companies to bring about a change in the environment.
After being actively involved in the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike’s ‘Wake Up Clean Up Bengaluru’ campaign, BCIC intends to play a significant role in reducing and managing solid waste in the city, the release added.
