PACE extends heartiest congratulations to the citizens of Indore and Bhopal for being the Swachh Survekshan 2017 top 2 cleanest cities at the national level



PET Packaging Association for Clean Environment (PACE), an industry body committed towards promoting the benefits of PET packaging for a safe and clean environment, congratulates the winners of the Swachh Survekshan Awards 2017.



Speaking on the occasion, Mr Vimal Kedia, President, PACE, said, "The Swachh Survekshan Awards 2017 demonstrate continued progress that India has been making towards getting its cities cleaner. The PET Packaging industry commends the efforts of the Government of India in catalysing a movement towards cleaner cities through initiatives like Swachh Bharat Mission and the Swachh Survekshan Awards. An increased weightage to citizen feedback for evaluating the winning cities is laudable."



"At PACE, we believe that a culture of waste segregation and recycling is fundamental to make our cities cleaner and environment friendly while providing livelihood opportunities to people working in the recycling value chain. Being 100% recyclable and already the most recycled packaging material in India, PET as a material lends itself very well to the Swachh Suravekshan Awards evaluation parameters such as waste collection, sweeping and transportation, municipal solid waste processing and disposal and education and behavior change. At PACE we are delighted to contribute towards continued education of citizens to foster a culture of waste segregation and recycling of PET." added Mr Kedia.
