Junagadh has come up with an initiative to deal with the plastic problem in the country. Since single-use plastic is banned from July 1, the district administration will inaugurate a cafe where people can enjoy delicious food by paying with plastic waste instead of real money. People can bring in their household plastic waste and they will be served food depending on its weight. The cafe will be run by SarvodaySakhi Mandal a group of women who have tied up farmers while the space and infrastructure have been provided by the administration. The cafe will only use organic and locally sourced ingredients from the farmers for the food. The district administration has hired an agency which will buy this waste.
