The football culture of Goa fits so well into what we are trying to do with plastic waste in the state. Goa with a population of 14.5 million people is known to have the highest per capita consumption of single use plastic in the country. This is estimated to be 22 kgs per person per year in Goa as against an average of 15 kgs in India. Our Project SAIM in association with WWF-India is now operating in south #Goa. The project is looking to enhance the existing system in Goa by providing opportunities for post consumer dry waste to be aggregated in our Material Recovery Facility.
