Rightly said @DivyatiwariC . It's time to #EnforceTheGutkaBan

Did you know that under Plastic Waste Management Rules sachets using plastic material shall not be used for storing, packing or selling gutka, tobacco and pan masala #EnforceTheGutkaBan @CPCB_OFFICIAL

Here are some coverages of our gutka plog events on the 28th Sept #EnforceTheGutkaBan

.@IndianPlogman has a point. Why should we do #gutkasana? Instead #EnforceTheGutkaBan

Here's another plog conducted by the @ctfblr1 on 4th October 2025. The findings were the same. Banned sachets of gutka continue to exist @CPCB_OFFICIAL @Chairman_KSPCB #EnforceTheGutkaBan

Here's a plog conducted by @BeautifulBluru on 4th October #EnforceTheGutkaBan

Several environmentalist citizen collectives from the state of Gujarat, India have advised the World Bank against giving loans for Waste to Energy projects and ask if the proposed projects are really risk-free? Click here to learn more: https://t.co/V21NcgXRsp

@swiggy great milestone but we'd like to return the balloon gift - it sadly does not fit with 2024 environment concerns. Google 'choking by balloons' to know hazards to infants + issues of litter, soil, water pollution, risk to birds, wildlife++ So #NoBalloonsPlease!!

#whyburnwaste urges you to stay tuned to the release of a documentary film which answers some of these questions in ‘Burning Injustice’ by Story of Stuff. https://t.co/68WmRJjskm

What are the health hazards faced by communities that live in the vicinity of a waste incinerator? What are the effects on ground water, air and public health?

Alright! Finally had a big nap and ready to reflect on #PlasticsTreaty #INC4. Here's my thread 🧵 of the highs and lows, but firstly, a big shout out to the @EIA_News team that grafted around the clock on advocacy, strategy and content. Am in awe of my colleagues 😍

@BBMPComm request immdt warnings by #BBMP to florists for banned plastic/NWPP/foil sheets use; adds to mixed waste burden and must stop! Fines on V-Day can bring impact as done in past years. Glad to partner on awareness to ease plastic from this sector with ready alternatives.

We extend our congratulations to all the stakeholders for this milestone. For more details, click on the link in our bio.

Segregation, composting, sustainable menstruation, single-use plastic ban are some of the interventions introduced by the Siddipet municipality. SWMRT is proud to have been the knowledge partner for several of these interventions.

Swachh Survekshan awards: Siddipet wins the clean city award in the South Zone under the 50,000 - 1,00,000 population category. Over the years under the guidance of former Minister T Harish Rao, the decentralised waste management system was set up and streamlined.

Studies show that when raised in the vicinity of its largest incinerator, hens in domestic farms of France end up ingesting these forever chemicals over time and lay eggs with large amounts of dioxins. This week, #whyburnwaste brings you the findings of this study.

Recent studies in Europe have found dioxin contamination in poultry products.
