Mysuru: In a bid to stop usage of plastic materials and reduce plastic waste generation at Kalyana Mantaps, the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has mooted ‘Green Weddings’ concept in city.
Addressing a press conference at MCC premises yesterday, MCC Commissioner Shilpa Nag said that each wedding generates about 150 tonnes of waste including plastic bottles, plastic glasses, cups, plates, plastic sheets which are put on dining tables, gift wrappers and also leftover food. She said that the generation of plastic waste could be avoided if plantain leaves, paper sheets, paper plates, glasses, cups, cloth bags and other eco-friendly products are used.
