Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been at the forefront of climate action and saving the environment campaigns whether it was plogging at a beach in Mahabalipuram in 2019 or wearing a blue jacket made of material recycled from plastic bottles in Parliament today. Modi’s message is clear — to bring maximum people in the fight against climate change.

As Modi attended a session in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, he was seen wearing a half-sleeve light blue “sadri” jacket, which was made from recycled plastic bottles, presented to him by the Indian Oil Corporation during India Energy Week in Bengaluru on February 6.

More than 10 crore PET bottles will be recycled to make sustainable garments for Indian Oil employees and Armed Forces.
