Doing their bit to tackle a large amount of plastic waste generated in the city, Project Mumbai, a non-profit organisation, is taking up the initiative recycling plastic and turning it into amenities that will be set up in public places. To encourage people to participate in their efforts to curb plastic pollution, Project Mumbai has also invited schools and colleges to encourage their students to install plastic Daanavs (Monsters) to celebrate Dussehra.

Shishir Joshi, CEO and Founder of Project Mumbai said that the students of schools and colleges can create a daanav using plastic waste and their entries will be later judged by a jury based on the quantity of waste used and design among other aspects. "Instead of burning a Raavan, students can make a Daanav. We will later dismantle them and then create an amenity which we will present to the same institution," he said.
