Jaideep Gokhale, sustainability director, Tetra Pak South Asia, said, “At Tetra Pak, we have long believed in honourable prime minister Narendra Modi’s proposition to start looking at waste as wealth. Our cartons are paper-based, recyclable and have the lowest carbon footprint among all other packaging materials used for similar food products. So, when we choose carton packaging, we are already making a positive choice.

The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has decided to observe a zero-waste day on December 25, during which the civic body will only collect wet waste from households across the city. This is likely to be observed once every month in the future for reducing waste.
On December 25, workers will only collect only wet waste from locations where residents carry out waste segregation. In other areas, where residents are yet to adopt the practice, workers have been told to inform residents about the basic types of waste segregation and given instructions not to collect any waste at all on December 25.
