Revolutionizing Waste Management in Bangalore: Mondelez India’s WoW Boards Make a Green Impact

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

India, June 5th, 2023: In India, one of the most pressing challenges that continues to impede sustainable waste management practices is the recycling of multi-layered packaging. This issue has gained significant attention due to the inherent complexity of packaging materials and the existing infrastructural constraints within the country. Recognizing the urgent need for sustainable solutions, companies are taking proactive steps to reduce their environmental impact and pave the way for a brighter future. One key area of focus is recycling initiatives.

Mondelez India is steadfast in its commitment to creating snacks that cater to consumer needs while simultaneously reducing environmental impact. In collaboration with Hasiru Dala and TrashCon in 2021, Mondelez embarked on an innovative project aimed at transforming multi-layer plastic waste into 'WoW Boards' – a sustainable alternative to traditional plywood. These revolutionary WoW Boards have proven to be versatile and environmentally friendly, offering numerous applications that contribute to sustainable practices.

Ophira Bhatia, Senior Director, India & Lead, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa (AMEA), Corporate & Government Affairs, Mondelez International said, “As we navigate the challenges of recycling multi-layered plastics within the constraints, we recognize the need for bold experimentation and support for innovative solutions. Our pioneering pilot project stands as a testament to this resolve, as we transform multi-layered plastics into WoW Boards - a sustainable and durable alternative to conventional plywood. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Hasiru Dala and TrashCon for their invaluable collaboration and expertise. With these strategic partnerships and initiatives, Mondelez India remains steadfast in its mission to foster positive change and contribute to a more sustainable future. “

Since the initiation of this project, Mondelez India has successfully converted approximately 600 tons of MLT tons of plastic. Furthermore, the deployment of WoW (Waste out of Waste) Boards in various locations across the city of Bangalore has witnessed numerous successful use cases and applications, bringing about positive change and practical solutions to waste management challenges. Noteworthy applications include the creation of benches and tables supplied to four schools, namely Govt School, Siddarth Nagar, Govt School, MS Palya, RKS School, Jolly Mohalla, and Karnataka Public School, Sarakki. These durable and sustainable furniture pieces not only provide functional seating and workspace for students but also exemplify the principles of effective waste management and environmental consciousness. Furthermore, WoW Boards have played a crucial role in the renovation of the shelter at Swachhagraha Kalika Kendra, replacing tetra pack sheets used for the existing roofs. This upgrade not only enhances the structural integrity of the shelter but also showcases the potential of WoW Boards as a sustainable alternative to traditional construction materials.

In addition, the versatility of WoW Boards is being showcased through their use in designing furniture for the Swachhagraha Kalika Kendra. By incorporating these boards into the center's furnishings, Mondelez India is effectively demonstrating to a broader audience the importance of responsible waste management practices and the possibilities of upcycling. The brand is also taking a step further by designing a living space at the City Armed Reserve (CAR) campus in Adugodi. This facility will accommodate workers at the waste management facility, marking a significant milestone as the first of its kind within the city's Police department. As part of the Mondelēz International’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact, it is addressing the biggest sustainability challenges relevant to its business, which includes plastics pollution.

As the travel season peaks, Airtel experiences a surge in demand forInternational Roaming Packs in Karnataka

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Bengaluru sees a 2x jump in pack subscriptions  
International Roaming Plan starts as low as 133/day, making it more economical than even the local
SIMs of most countries
Kiosk introduced at international terminal to serve customers better

Bengaluru, June 1st, 2023: Bharti Airtel, one of India’s leading telecommunications service providers, has witnessed a growth of 146% in the subscription of packs for customers travelling abroad from Bengaluru as compared to last year. To cater to this surge and provide last-minute assistance, Airtel has set up an international roaming kiosk at the departure terminal of Bangalore Kempegowda International Airport in the duty-free area.

In order to make staying connected easy, intuitive and compelling, Airtel has refreshed its International Roaming Plan such that it costs as little as 133/day at the starting point, making it more economical than the local SIMs of most countries. This has resulted in a significant jump for the company in pack subscriptions in both the prepaid and postpaid segments. The 10-day validity packs remain the most popular pack subscriptions among the Bengalurian outroamers and even though USA and UK are the most frequently travelled destinations from India, the most popular international holiday destinations on Airtel’s network for Bengalurians are Middle East and European countries like Germany, France, Netherlands and Switzerland.

Vivek Mehendiratta, CEO, Karnataka, Bharti Airtel, commenting on Airtel’s new International Roaming Plan, had this to say, “At Airtel, we are continuously challenging ourselves to keep improving our customers’ experience. Our new international roaming plans once again focus on putting the customer first. Reliable connectivity when travelling abroad is an absolute necessity nowadays. Our industry-leading roaming plans are very affordable and will ensure that our customers can stay connected all the time, wherever they are, without the hassle of changing their SIM cards or numbers. We are seeing travel already soar this holiday season and we look forward to serving Bengalurians through a more connected travel experience”.

Airtel’s International Roaming Plan offers several advantages over local SIM cards, including seamless connectivity (with no need for a change of number), the best available network, flexible duration options, unlimited emergency connectivity, control through the Airtel Thanks App and a dedicated toll-free number 99100-99100 available on call and WhatsApp. Further, recognizing the importance of simplifying activation for international outroamers, Airtel has set up a kiosk at the departure terminal of Bengaluru Kempegowda International Airport in the duty-free area.

 Key features of the Airtel IR Plan include:

One of the most affordable plans in the world: The Airtel IR Plan is very affordable and it costs as little as 133/day making it more convenient and economical than the local SIMs of most countries.
Duration is the only decision that customers need to make: Customers simply need to select the duration of their travel, ranging from 1 day to 90 days, or even opt for an annual International Roaming Pack for NRIs, making it convenient and flexible for all types of travellers.
Unlimited emergency connectivity: Even if customers exhaust their data limit, essential services such as messaging, emails and web browsing will continue to work, ensuring they are never disconnected. Top-up options are also available through the Airtel Thanks App and the Airtel website.
Control in customer’s hands: Through the Airtel Thanks App, customers can easily manage their plans, switch the service on or off, change the plan, purchase extra data and activate international roaming upon landing in their destination country.
Same number throughout: Customers can stay connected with friends and family on the same number and be able to receive updates from their banks, hotels and airlines throughout.  
Safety: With Airtel’s IR pack, customers can avoid exposing their private documents to local shops for a new SIM. They can also protect themselves from fraudulent banking transactions by remaining on the same number.
24×7 dedicated troubleshooting support: Airtel provides dedicated support through the toll-free number +91 99100-99100, available everywhere. Customers can call or message through WhatsApp to receive assistance from experienced executives.

NIKKOR Z DX 24mm f/1.7 PRIMARY FEATURES

Creativity your way

Get ready to elevate your portraiture photography with the NIKKOR Z DX 24mm f/1.7. Easily create stunning portraits with dreamy bokeh to highlight your subjects with the lens’ maximum aperture of f/1.7 and short minimum focus distance of 0.18m. Users can also draw attention to their subjects while recording videos, thanks to the contrast between the sharp focal plane and the smoothly blurred background.

Capturing beautiful photos during the elusive golden hour is made simple with the NIKKOR Z DX 24mm f/1.7. The lens’ maximum aperture is bright enough to capture even with lower ISO sensitivity and in low-light situations. In addition, users can shoot handheld with minimal image blur caused by camera shake or subject movement. The result is beautiful stills and video with high resolution, while effectively reducing noise for smoother images, thus providing users with more diverse shooting opportunities.

Picturing perspectives

With a short minimum focus distance of 0.18m, users can get up close to easily photograph everyday subjects like food and flowers, without being too far away to focus on the subject. The combination of the minimum focus distance of 0.18 m and the maximum aperture of f/1.7 enables effective shooting of flowers and other still subjects with large background bokeh, enabling the subject to stand out.

 

 

Ready, steady, shoot

Shoot videos without worrying about disruption from unnecessary operational sounds, thanks to the smooth and quiet operation of the lens’ STM and ‘click-less’ control ring. With the NIKKOR Z DX 24mm f/1.7, you can shoot with confidence when befriending a street cat or capturing spontaneous street moments.

Users can also record videos with a natural shift in focus position and brightness level with effective focus-breathing[2] compensation from the lens. Even when the focus point shifts from one subject to another, the angle of view is maintained, creating smooth and natural videos with stable exposure.

Light in weight, big on usability

Compact in size yet packed with features, the NIKKOR Z DX 24mm f/1.7 weighs approximately 135g and makes for the perfect daily companion for users to keep in their bags and bring around for photo walks or their travels. Even when the lens is attached to a camera, such as the Z 30, the set-up would weigh only 540g. Rounding up the features of the lens is the compact design that narrows slightly toward the tip to accentuate its compact size.
