Hours before RCB's final game of this season's IPL got underway at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday night, a number of volunteers overseen by officials of the International Institute of Waste Management (IIWM), a non-profit organization that is supported by a European Union-Resource Efficiency Initiative, went about attaching specially designed pouches to the back of as many as 2000 seats in the lowest priced seats at the venue.

Each of these pouches had a message for the paying public that said in bold, 'Pocket your waste here'. The reusable pouches, all stitched by women from the economically weaker sections of Bangalore, have two compartments, one to place the RCB flag in at the end of the game, so that it doesn't get wasted and become part of the litter, and other for the waste generated during the game, be it food remnants or packets.
