Minicoy, the southernmost island in the Lakshadweep archipelago, is taking baby steps towards becoming a plastic waste-free island. It was Niravu’s efforts to tackle the plastic waste issue in Andrott, another island in the group, a year ago that drew MDS’ attention. The 140 bags of plastic waste collected were shipped to Beypore in Kozhikode and was sent to the Kozhikode Corporation’s plastic recycling plant, run by Niravu in West Hill. “An advantage with Lakshadweep is that people here do not mix food waste with plastic. The MDS is also planning to set a model out of Minicoy with the aim of taking over the waste management of all the islands from the administration.
