As the government has banned single-use plastics from the 1st of July, Punjab-based real estate firm Motia Group has decided to completely do away with plastic usage at its office and use eco-friendly alternatives like paper bags and jute bags.
Motia Group has a massive workforce of employees. All its employees have shown their solidarity towards the Group’s initiative to abjure the use of plastic bags, keepers and utensils.
As a part of its CSR initiative to promote environmental sustainability, Motia Group has come up with this noble campaign. Previously, the Group had organised Go Green campaigns, plantation drives, etc., to instil a sense of awareness among people to keep the environment clean and pure.
Its office is located at Motiaz Royal Business Park, Chandigarh-Ambala, Royal Motia Citi Rd, Zirakpur. The employees and staff of the office carried paper bags to the office and pledged to eliminate the use of plastics.
On the decision to go ‘Plastic-free’ at the office Mr LC Mittal, Director , Motia Group, said, “There is no rationale of using plastics if healthy and environmentally friendly options and replacements are available. It is a collective decision to use eco-friendly alternatives like paper bags in place of plastics at our office. Plastic has caused a menace to the environment. It has led to destruction on various counts. Our employees were incredibly supportive of the initiative and showed their support by carrying paper bags to the office. We also distributed paper bags to channelise a feeling of environmentalism among our workers and employees.”
