India is set to witness the most significant event of the year—approximately 48 Lakh or 4.8 million marriages will be held nationwide from 12 November 2024 to 16 December 2024. This grand occasion is monumental for the couple, their families, friends, and the entire community. Amidst all the fun and celebration, an important aspect that often gets overlooked is the environmental impact of these events.
The Environmental Challenge of Indian Marriages
Indian weddings are renowned for their grandeur and typically involve multiple events that span several days. From the mehndi ceremony to the grand reception, food is a central element where families invest significant resources to ensure guests have a memorable experience. However, after the events, thousands of tonnes of waste will be generated from single-use disposable products such as bowls, plates, trays, cutlery, and glasses. This surge in waste contributes significantly to plastic and paper pollution.
