Bottles for Change has been receiving a tremendous response from the citizens and as a gesture of contributing to the society, the team has placed benches made from recycled plastic at the prominent areas of Mumbai.  Every bench requires around 50 kgs of used plastic.

Additionally, Bottles for Change introduced a Mobile App for the citizens of Mumbai which aims to bring the citizens of Mumbai and the Plastic Collecting Agents (Kabadiwallahs/NGOs) under one roof. The app provides a hassle-free option to the citizens to search & approach a nearby plastic agent to handover the clean plastic. The plastic agents will in turn sell the used clean plastic to the recyclers who will make recycled products from the same.
