Indian Army, Bisleri International join hands for developing eco zone in Sikkim

BFC will contribute to developing plastic waste management and send all post-consumer plastic from the station for recycling

Bisleri International has signed a Letter of Association (LoA) and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Army, Sikkim, to develop an ecozone for plastic waste management through its flagship programme Bottles for Change (BFC), at the Gangtok Military Station. The agreement was formally signed in the presence of senior army officials and representatives from Bisleri International.

Through this association, BFC will contribute to developing plastic waste management and send all post-consumer plastic from the station for recycling. Also, the partnership aims to create awareness, drive behavioural change, and promote sustainable practices for a cleaner and greener future. It also marks a significant milestone for Bisleri as the Bottles for Change program expands into the state of Sikkim.

Angelo George, CEO, Bisleri International, said, “It is an honour for Bisleri to collaborate with the Indian Army at Gangtok Military Station. Through the Bottles for Change initiative, we are committed to supporting the Army’s efforts in developing the Eco Zone and creating a model of environmental responsibility. This partnership reflects our shared vision of sustainability and national pride. We look forward to building a lasting association for a more sustainable Sikkim.”

As part of Bisleri’s Greener Promise, the Bottles for Change program continues to advance sustainability by building strong collaborations with communities, institutions, and government bodies. The partnership with the Indian Army is a testament to Bisleri’s commitment to environmental stewardship and its philosophy of aligning with institutions that symbolize discipline, leadership, and community impact.
