24 Hours Inside Mumbai’s Plastic Crisis: Beach Trash to School Desks
18,000 kg of plastic. 1,500+ volunteers. One Mumbai beach.
And then, it all became School Benches.
Mumbai’s beaches are drowning in plastic. Every year, 5 million kg of plastic enters the Arabian Sea from Mumbai alone. The Better India decided to fight back.
We mobilised 1,500+ volunteers for a single beach cleanup — and followed the waste from the shore to a recycling facility, where marine plastic is cleaned, segregated and transformed into school benches for children across Maharashtra.
And here’s the best part: by watching this video, you’ve already contributed to India’s next cleanup drive. The proceeds from this video will help fund our next cleanup.
This is The Better India’s Civic Sense Revolution. Watch the full journey.
