The Suchitwa Mission has issued guidelines for campaigning for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections completely under the green protocol. Non-recyclable PVC flex, polyester, nylon, and plastic-coated material should not be used for banners or hoardings.
Recyclable polyethylene or paper material should be used only with a ‘free recyclable’ logo, the name and contact number of the printing unit as well as the certificate number of QR code of the Pollution Control Board (PCB).
The units making or distributing polyethylene or cotton materials should submit samples to the PCB. The cotton materials should be tested at the Textile Committee, under the Union government, while the polyethylene materials should be tested at the Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering and Technology (CIPET).
