One-Stop Centres for Zero Waste

Context:

In a step towards cutting down waste generation in urban India, the government will launch onestop centres where citizens can deposit old clothes, shoes, books, toys and plastic that can be reused or recycled.

About ‘RRR’ Centres (“Reduce, Recycle and Reuse”):

Objective: To take collective action for the protection and conservation of the environment by adopting sustainable daily habits.
Backbone of ‘Waste to Wealth’: The 3Rs can empower many craftsmen, recyclers, self help Groups, entrepreneurs, startups, etc. to recycle waste into a host of products.
They would be set up as part of a nationwide campaign ‘Meri LiFE, Mera Swachh Shehar’ (‘My Life, My Clean City’) under the aegis of the Swachh Bharat Mission – Urban 2.0 (SBMU 2.0).
