MADURAI: Madurai District Exnora affiliated to Exnora International
joined hands with ITC, Ramky Reclamation and Recycling Limited and
implemented a programme called ‘Wealth out of Waste’ which has been
approved by Madurai Corporation.
A statement from the president of Madurai District Exnora says that
the programme has been launched to minimise the road wastage of
polythene bags and related items which pose serious threat to the
environment. The project was started at KK Nagar in 2009 and has been
extended to Anna Nagar, Chokkikulam, Gomathipuram, Harveypatti, Railway
Colony and a portion of Agrani Apartments.
Each house has been distributed one poly sack where the public are
asked to store paper, plastic and all dry wastes. Exnora collects
approximately 3kg of waste per month per house.
