Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport is all set to become the first plastic-free airport in India in the next five months, according to a report by TOI.

Disposable plastic items that are thrown away after one use come under this category. 

This initiative aligns itself with the government’s goal of eliminating all single-use plastic by 2022. 

Reports suggest that several outlets at the Delhi airport have already replaced single-use plastic with paper and bio-based compostable materials.

Reports further state that, after Delhi, Bengaluru International Airport is also taking necessary steps to ban the use of single-use plastic.

This is an appreciable effort keeping in mind the problems increasing amount of plastic waste is posing to us.
