The bank was established by the Social Development for Community (SDC) Foundation in association with CSCR-IIP (Indian Institute of Petroleum).
Foundation's community outreach associate Rishabh Trivastava appealed to the students of the academy to collect single-use plastic.
"Plastic waste has become a threat to not only to earth but also to humans. Therefore, to gradually stop the use of single-use plastic and promote its recycling, CSCR-IIP and SDC Foundation, a few months ago set up Plastic Bank in the city.
