Bisleri International has officially launched its campus activities for its flagship CSR initiative, ‘Bottles for Change,’ in partnership with Panjab University, Chandigarh. The event, which signifies the end of a collaborative effort that began in September 2023, featured the signing of an MoU to establish a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) on campus—a key move towards sustainability. Over 300 enthusiastic students gathered to support sustainable practices and recycling efforts on campus.
