The liquor companies sold arrack in 180 ml bottles made of glass or plastic. It has also been found that not even five percent of quarter bottles are collected for recycling. When I attended the Surakimu Ganga project to clean waterways, I saw heaps of empty plastic and glass bottles along the river banks. We commenced a discussion to ban the quarter bottles several months ago. I will resume talks with officials this week and to expedite the process of banning the quarter bottles.
