Hyderabad: Heading towards the exit of a hall after attending a function, marriage or
get-together, remember the sight of use-and-throw plastic cups, plastic glasses and
plastic spoons strewn all over?

Spearheading the campaign against plastic in the city, the Greater Hyderabad
Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is now coming up with a unique concept, ‘cutlery
banks’, which will target functions and events where the use of plastic is high.

For the purpose of curtailing the use of plastic, mainly in the form of single use spoons,
cups and glasses at events and functions, the civic body is roping in self-help groups
(SHGs) to provide an alternative.

Nominal rent

plastic ones, officials said. “The rental is very nominal too,” the official said.

In the GHMC limits, there are 42,925 SHGs and over five lakh women enrolled as
members in these groups. Each group has an enrolment of 10 to12 members.

The GHMC arranges interest-free loans for these groups, which are currently operating
tailoring outlets, petty shops, general stores and other businesses with minimal
investments.

Good track record

A majority of the groups have good track record of repayment and the civic body is
now planning to arrange loans for the groups to set up ‘cutlery banks’. “The groups
will be repaying the loans through the rent generated by offering the cutlery for
functions,” said Moosapet Deputy Commissioner, V Mamatha.

Coordination meetings are being conducted with resident welfare associations, private
supplying companies and SHGs to iron out the final details of the project. While
private supplying companies will be free to supply big and heavy utensils required for
cooking, the SHGs will be supplying cups, spoons, water glasses, etc. “There will not be
any clash of interest,” she said.

Interested people can approach the SHGs for cutlery and obtain the same by
furnishing their details. After utilizing the utensils, these will have to be washed and
cleaned and returned. As a precautionary measure, nominal deposit may also be made
mandatory, officials said, adding that modalities were being finalised.

This is not a viable alternative as the cleaning of such used spoons, cups
and other items is people want to avoid. People want to use and throw items
and not use and clean and reclean. Getting such clean items is a big doubt
