The Noida Power Company Limited (NPCL) on Thursday said that it has successfully recycled around 10,000 plastic bottles with the help of reverse vending machines (RVMs) within five months, much ahead of its set deadline of a year, officials said.
Noida Power Company Limited spokesperson, Manoj Jha said, “The campaign, with an aim to make Greater Noida free of plastic, was launched in the city from May 1 this year and deadline was set to recycle 10,000 plastic bottles in a year. However, the set target has been achieved much ahead of the deadline and thus, NPCL has now set a new target of recycling 10,000 more plastic bottles by March 31, 2024.”
Jha added, “Additionally, as many as four more reverse vending machines will be installed at four different locations in Greater Noida, by the end of November, taking total number of RVMs installed in the city to eight.”
