The nation’s largest plastics up-cycler Eco Spindles (Pvt) Ltd. supports schools around the country to organise projects to create awareness of proper plastic disposal. Over 100 schools around the country have organised their own initiatives supported by Eco Spindles, a subsidiary of BPPL Holdings PLC.
One such project Bothal Pancho was implemented recently by students of Delgalle Primary School, who organised their own creative campaign to advocate proper disposal and collection of plastic. The students held a Perahera which depicted the importance of collecting, disposing, and recycling plastic the correct manner.
