The project zero plastic  is about turning the life of citizens of surat into a sustainable life by spreading the awareness and encouraging them to take some steps towards actions related sustainability.This is the core idea that leads our project further in bits and parts which can make us successful with our end goal.The process would start with conducting  one-on-one interview with the plant manager of eco vision. Eco vision is a plastic recycling plan which totally focuses on recycling of plastics and converting them in small pills and supplying that to pills to plastic producing factory ,they collect plastic waste from certain areas which start by giving door to door service for collection of waste. Further,We want to organise two workshops in the government schools: first will focus on raising awareness about plastic waste management, and second will educate participants how to create various items out of leftover plastic. where firstly, we will start with conducting a one-on-one interview with the plant manager of SMC.Additionally, we will only hold one session in the private schools where we will be teaching them about managing plastic waste. We will also ask students to bring any plastic they may have at home, which we will collect from the schools until two weeks and donate to eco vision.
