• Do not litter the environment by throwing plastic items.

• Do not use Thermocol (resin code #6 PS) for your school projects.

• Do not use one-time use or throwaway plastics like plastics bags, teacups, Thermocol plates and cups, and plastic straws.

• Do not burn plastics since they release toxic gases that are harmful to our health and contribute to climate change.

• Burning PVC plastic releases dioxins which are one of the most dangerous chemicals known to humans.

• Do not eat hot or spicy food items in plastic containers.

• Segregate your plastic waste and hand this over to the municipal authorities so that it can be recycled
