Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban

Mira Bhayandar, in collaboration with Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd., is launching a holistic plastic waste management initiative featuring the city’s first-ever Plastic Recovery Centre and a Sustainability Inspiration Centre, a unique Plastic Recycling Museum. These landmark facilities mark a major step toward building a more organised, efficient, and future-ready recycling ecosystem for the city.

Together, the two centres will not only streamline the collection, segregation, and recycling of plastic waste from hotels, restaurants, corporates, institutions, and housing societies but also create widespread awareness on responsible plastic disposal. By combining strong infrastructure with community engagement, the initiative aims to inspire citizens and accelerate Mira Bhayandar’s journey toward cleaner, greener urban living.

The Plastic Recovery Centre is a modern MRF designed to boost the city’s recycling infrastructure. With advanced equipment for sorting and processing, it will streamline the journey of plastic from waste to recycling—bringing Mira Bhayandar closer to its goal of “Zero Plastic to Landfill.”

The newly developed Plastic Recycling Museum, known as the Sustainability Inspiration Centre, is a first-of-its-kind space in the region. Built entirely from recycled materials, it offers an immersive learning experience for children, students, and citizens. Its star attraction, “Binny the Bird,” is a striking installation crafted from 2,000 recycled plastic bottles, designed to spark curiosity and inspire reflection on responsible consumption.

Alongside this, the museum features interactive exhibits that trace the journey of plastic—from waste to reuse—highlighting its potential as a valuable resource. Further strengthening community engagement, 70 public benches made entirely from recycled bottle caps will be installed across the city, serving as lasting reminders of collective responsibility and sustainable practices. This initiative is part of Bisleri’s Bottles for Change programme.

Shri Radhabinod Sharma, IAS- Municipal Commissioner & Administrator, MBMC, emphasized that effective plastic waste management remains a key priority for the Municipal Corporation. The new Plastic Recovery Centre and Sustainability Inspiration Centre, along with the Recycling Museum, will help build a more organised system for the city and deepen awareness on segregation and recycling, especially among students.

Together, these efforts represent a pioneering step toward building a robust circular economy model, one that inspires, educates, and empowers citizens to manage waste effectively.
