Annapurna Studios Bans Plastic In Premises

Did you know that plastic has been banned in Annapurna Studios? No? Then let us tell you that Annapurna Studios, one of the leading production houses of the southern film industry, has banned the usage of plastic in the premises of the studios. This was not made official by the members of management, but anchor Jhansi, who has collaborated with the studios for one of their projects, has taken to her social media account to write about this. 

She wrote, “…NO INDIVIDUAL PACKAGED WATER BOTTLES ON THE SET to anyone (actors included). Steel bottles are given to the members which you can refill from the water station. When Potable water in hygienic conditions is assured, why not change our practices folks. Impact assessment of a small scale shooting

?Minimum 10 people who use packaged water bottles; 2 bottles per head

?20 bottles per day (20 liters per day)

?20 days of shoot = 400 plastic bottles ? 2 sqmt of waste in landfill ?add the illhealth effects of BPAs in the bottled water

benefits of the small change other than the cost saving

 20 liters per day in 1 reusable bubble no waste generation bonus health benefits  improves CONSCIOUS use of water….” (sic)
