Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd. has partnered with the Indian Army, Sikkim, signing a Letter of Association (LoA) and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish an Eco Zone for plastic waste management at the Gangtok Military Station through its flagship program, Bottles for Change (BFC). The agreement was formalized in the presence of senior army officials and Bisleri representatives.
The partnership aims to manage plastic waste by collecting and recycling all post-consumer plastic from the Gangtok Military Station. Beyond waste management, the initiative focuses on raising awareness, driving behavioral change, and promoting sustainable practices for a cleaner, greener future. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Bisleri as the Bottles for Change program expands into Sikkim.
Angelo George, CEO of Bisleri International, stated, “It is an honour for Bisleri to collaborate with the Indian Army at Gangtok Military Station. Through the Bottles for Change initiative, we are committed to supporting the Army’s efforts in developing the Eco Zone and creating a model of environmental responsibility. This partnership reflects our shared vision of sustainability and national pride. We look forward to building a lasting association for a more sustainable Sikkim.”
