Clean sweep: IPL fans to band in Hyderabad to discuss plastic use in stadiums

Nearly 4 to 4.5 tonnes of waste (approximately 130 grams per spectator) is left behind in the stands after a game. Most of that is material like paper and plastic cups, spoons and forks, leftover food, tissues and flags and cheer items. About 40 per cent of that is single use plastic and poses a threat to the environment thanks to its non-biodegradable properties.
