NFR, IIT-Guwahati Join Hands to Replace Plastics with Biodegradable Materials
In a significant step toward promoting environmental sustainability, the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has partnered with IIT-Guwahati to develop and implement biodegradable alternatives to single-use plastics. The collaboration aims to curb plastic pollution and create eco-friendly solutions for railway operations and passenger services.
As part of the first phase of the project, NFR has introduced eco-friendly green bed-roll bags on its trains, replacing conventional plastic bags used to distribute linen to passengers.
IIT-Guwahati researchers have been at the forefront of developing green technologies, including bio-polymers and eco-friendly packaging solutions. This collaboration highlights,
