-
Environmental-friendly practices
Shah latif kitab ghar and Roshni Books, outlets of Roshni publication, located in Hyderabad, Sindh has been supporting city sustainability through its plastic bag recycling program. The both bookstores uses bags made with a thicker plastic, which is allowed. The plastic in the book store bags is at least 2.25 mil thick (one mil is equal to one-thousandth of an inch), which allows the bags to be more easily reused and eventually recycled. To recycle unusable bags, drop them off at the Bookstores i-e Shah latif kitab Ghar and Roshni Books, located at Press Street, Hyder chowk, Hyderabad. The recycling bin is available at both bookstores of Roshni Publication.
We also initiated a reusable shopping bag for students. The goal was to get the students to first purchase the bags, and then bring the reusable bags back to the bookstore and continue to use them for their shopping. If the students would use these bags, then the bookstore would not have to use expensive plastic bags.
