15th October 2025: Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd., India’s leading packaged drinking water company with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, has joined hands with the KATALYTIC Charter Educational Foundation (KCEF) to promote responsible plastic use and recycling across schools in Sikkim.
As part of Bottles of Change, the collaboration will conduct year-round awareness sessions in charter schools, encouraging students to creatively repurpose used plastic into functional and artistic objects, also engaging over 214 Schools to redefine plastic responsibility in Sikkim. The most innovative and impactful student creations will be recognized and awarded-celebrating youth-led action in environmental stewardship.
The initiative will also feature a mega cleanliness drive led by students from charter school students, and local communities. By combining Bisleri’s expertise in sustainability outreach with KCEF’s strong educational network, the partnership aims to embed sustainable habits within classrooms and nurture a culture of environmental responsibility among students and educators alike.
Speaking on the association, Mr K. Ganesh, Director – Corporate Affairs, Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd., said, “At Bisleri, we have consistently focused on engaging young minds to drive the message of sustainability. Through initiatives like ‘Bottles for Change’, we aim to instil a sense of environmental responsibility among students and empower them to lead by example. Earlier this year, we signed a MoU with National Book Trust and Centre for Environment Education to create and distribute an educational book on plastic waste management for Indian schools. Our partnership with KCEF is another step towards nurturing a generation that not only understands the importance of recycling and responsible plastic use but also actively contributes to building a cleaner, greener future.”
Adding to this, Ms. Kunzang Choeki, Founder & Director of Katalytic Charter Educational Foundation, added “Education has the unique ability to transform how people think and act. Through this partnership with Bisleri, we’re bringing sustainability into the heart of classrooms and communities across Sikkim. By empowering students to take ownership of environmental action, we’re nurturing a generation that practices sustainability every day and inspires others to follow.”
This collaboration underscores Bisleri’s long-standing commitment to promoting responsible plastic use, recycling, and community participation. Together with KCEF, Bisleri aims to build a shared culture of accountability- empowering youth to lead the way toward a more sustainable future.
