Minister for Excise and Local Self-Governments (LSG) M.B. Rajesh has urged the Kerala Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (Milma) to shift to reusable covers.
“Plastics that cannot be reused or recycled are the biggest challenge in environment conservation,” said Mr. Rajesh. “Milma can be a model. The responsibility of plastic waste is not with the consumer alone; it is with the manufacturer as well.”
Mr. Rajesh was addressing a function in which Milma grants to cooperative dairy societies and employees were distributed here on Saturday.
The Kerala State Beverages Corporation (BEVCO) has decided to collect and recycle the plastic liquor bottles it sells. Milma could cooperate with bodies like BEVCO and thus reduce the cost of recycling, said the Minister.
