Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd. has partnered with the Indian Army in Sikkim to develop an eco-zone for plastic waste management at the Gangtok Military Station. The collaboration is part of Bisleri’s flagship program, Bottles for Change (BFC), which aims to promote sustainable practices and create a cleaner and greener future.
