To combat the negative impacts of the drastically increasing amounts of plastic waste in the recent decades in India’s environment, the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW) has joined hands with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) International Services to support the reduction of plastic waste entering the environment of the two Ganga cities of Haridwar and Rishikesh in Uttarakhand.

The objective of the project Aviral- Reducing Plastic Waste is to reduce the plastic waste entering in these cities environment by strengthening an integrative and improved plastic waste management system in these two cities. The efforts will also contribute to achieving the objectives of the flagship programs of the National Mission for Clean Ganga (Namami Gange) and the Clean India Mission (Swachh Bharat Mission).

The proposed interventions will focus on the enhancement of existing capacities, improvement of selected elements of the plastic waste value chain, promotion of innovations along the plastic waste value chain and implementation of awareness activities engaging with all relevant stakeholders. All activities will be implemented in partnership with various agencies.
