On World Environment Day, the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) and Verka Milk Plant launched a mobile milk vending van at ATS Casa Espana, Mohali, to reduce plastic waste from conventional milk pouches. Offering fresh Verka milk at Rs 64 per litre, the initiative encourages residents to use reusable containers. The vending machine holds about 300 litres and could eliminate nearly 600 plastic pouches daily in the housing society. If successful, the project may expand across Mohali and Punjab to promote sustainable consumption and reduce single-use plastic.
