Mysuru: Japan is planning to ban one time use of materials including drinking water bottles to curb wastage, said former Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) Chairman B. Shivalingaiah.
He was speaking at a conference on ‘Industrial Waste Management’ organised by Confederation of Indian Industry in association with Department of Industries and Commerce and KSPCB here recently and said, “People are using water as a vehicle to throw their unwanted materials. Due to this rivers including Narmada, Ganga, Krishna and Cauvery, are getting polluted and the life of river is reducing.”
