Lahore, December 21, 2018 (PPI-OT): Pakistan China Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry has decided to introduce the Chinese idea of “ZERO-WASTE” life in Pakistan. The Chinese concept of “zero-waste” is that, they believe nothing is waste, until and unless we find ways to use them.
Mr. Shah Faisal Afridi, President Pakistan China Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Mr. Ma Zhijun, President of the Sichuan International Chamber of Commerce, Halal Food Commission conducted a meeting today at PCJCCI office, in which they highlighted this concept of eccentric life. The most important aspect of Zero-waste life is using creativity and skills to turn used items into something new, like making a pot of shampoo bottle and making decorative flowers of used tissue papers.
Mr. Shah Faisal Afridi, President PCJCCI apprised that, the young Chinese people proposed and supported zero-waste life, Pakistan currently has the largest population of young people ever recorded in history, and the future of Pakistan also lies in the hands of youth so we should motivate youth to practice zero-waste life. He further added that, No food should be wasted, even the residue; fruit pits and nut shells can be turned into fuel in industrial factories.
President PCJCCI expressed that initially, we will teach the techniques of zero-waste life to our young asset by conducting different seminars and by signing MOUs with different universities of Punjab in which we will suggest them to add project of zero-waste life in the curriculum. These projects will definitely prove to be fruitful in enlightening the young bright minds of our youth. He further said that, through zero-waste life young people can also make money by using waste material for creating something new out of it.
Mr. Ma Zhijun, President of the Sichuan International Chamber of Commerce, Halal Food Commission informed that, China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment had circulated an eco-friendly behavioural norm for citizens (trial) encouraging eco-friendly behaviour. He said, I am confident that a wider public of Pakistan is willing to make efforts to insulate the environment and implement a green lifestyle. He assured to share Chinese experience of different projects relating to inventive techniques and zero-waste lifestyle.
