West Bengal: This Bank Collects Plastic Waste & Gives Masks, Sanitizers in Return

A small club in the Burdwan district of West Bengal has made an effort to make a unique alteration in the concept of banking. Palla Road Palli Mangal Samity, a local club in East Burdwan, has taken an initiative of starting a bank that takes waste plastic and plants as deposit and gives masks and sanitizers in return.
In exchange for either 5 plants or 5 kg of plastic including discarded plastic bottles, a person will get 2 masks and 1-litre sanitizer from the bank.
Eco brick is made from plastic deposited in the bank. People who are neither able to bring plants nor plastic can buy them for Rs 49. Watch the video & find out more about this unique concept.
