6. Definition of
CSR“Social responsibility is the responsibility of an
organization for the impacts of its decisions
and activities on society and the environment,
through transparent and ethical behavior that:
 Contributes to sustainable development,
including the health and the welfare of
society.
 Takes into account the expectations of
stakeholders.
 Is in compliance with applicable law and
consistent with international norms of
behavior, and
 Is integrated throughout the organization and
practices in its relationships.”

7. Objectives of CSR

8. What is plastic?
 Plastic is any synthetic or semi-synthetic organic
polymer. While plastics may be made from just
about any organic polymer, most industrial
plastic is made from petrochemicals.
Thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers are
the two types of plastic.
 The name "plastic" refers to the property of
plasticity, which is the ability to deform without
breaking.
 The polymer used to make a plastic is almost
always mixed with additives, including colorants,
plasticizers, stabilizers, fillers, and
reinforcements. These additives affect the
chemical composition, chemical properties, and
mechanical properties of a plastic and also affect
its cost.

10. The Life Cycle of a Plastic
Water Bottle

11.  Americans buy an estimated 29.8 billion
plastic water bottles every year.
 Each year 17 million barrels of oil are used to
make the plastic for the bottles – that’s
enough to fuel 1 million cars for a year!
 80% of our bottles are not recycled – they
end up in the landfill or are incinerated with
other regular trash.
 More than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide
(a greenhouse gas) are released in the
production of plastic bottles.
Matter of Concern:

12. Water
purification:
Water purification is the removal of
contaminants from raw water to produce
drinking water that is pure enough for human
consumption or for industrial use.
Substances that are removed during the
process include parasites, bacteria, algae,
viruses, fungi, minerals (including toxic
metals such as Lead, Copper etc.), and man-
made chemical pollutants.
Many contaminants can be dangerous—but
depending on the quality standards, others
are removed to improve the water's smell,
taste, and appearance.

13. Water
purification:

14. Unsustainable work of
manufacturer:
Collecting and reusing Bottles:
o They reuse old bottles.
o Use contaminated water for washing.
o Irregular maintenance of automatic plant.
Remedies:
 Recycle the used bottles
 Use boiled clean water.
 Regular monitoring.

15. Unsustainable work of
manufacturer:
Water Processing :
o Improper maintenance of filters.
o Improper removal of hazardous waste.
Remedies:
 Regular washing and changing filters.

16. Unsustainable work of
consumer:
o Damaging used bottles and cans.
o Dropping the used bottles here and there.
Remedies:
Use of separate dustbin for plastic bottle or
can.

17. Effects on
Human Health:
At higher temperature and when the plastic
bottle is old, dangerous elements get into
food. These elements are….
 Bisphenol-A
 Phthalates

18. Why is Bisphenol-A
dangerous?
 Its structure resembles women’s
hormone.
 It cause obstruction in hormonal
system.
 It is possible that it causes trouble with
pregnancy, secretion of insulin which
can lead to diabetes.
 Causes breathing problems.
 Can cause problems with allergies of
skin.

19. Why are Phthalates
dangerous?
 They are not bound to plastic and can
get out of plastic materials.
 They get into the body by breathing
through skin and by eating.
 Longlasting and chronical exposure to
phthalates can damage livers, kidneys
and organs for reproduction.

20. Effects on environment:
 In production: Most bottled water is packaged
in PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles
which are derived from crude oil. It can take up to
3L of water to produce 1L of water.
 In transportation: Transportation of bottled
water around the world requires burning of fossil
fuels.
 In landfill and the litter stream: Although
plastic bottles are recyclable, many end up in
landfill and take up to 1000 years to break down.
When littered they often end up in the sea where
they break up in small pieces, killing marine life
that mistake them for food.

21. Other
Threats:
 Plastics are non bio-degradable.
 Plastic pollute beaches and
oceans.
 Plastic kill animals.
 Plastic litter the landscape.

22. Government Measures:
 Regular monitoring of the plants.
 License should not be given without
investigation .
 Make strict rules against contamination.

23. Measures by consumers:
 Though plastic bottles are very much
harmful for our health and
environment, it’s not possible to wipe
out all the plastic bottles at instance.
We have to proceed gradually.
1. We should keep the plastic water bottles at low
temperature until drinking the water.
2. We should not reuse the plastic bottles for containing
food.
3. We can reuse the plastic bottles for different creative
work.

24. Creative work with wastage plastic
water bottles:
 To beat the heat, a new social venture has
created Eco-Cooler- a DIY cooling system
consisting of used plastic bottles and a piece of
cardboard that fits in any window.

25. Creative work with wastage plastic
water bottles:
We can make amazing houses with plastic
bottles.

26. Creative works with wastage plastic
bottles:
Plastic bottles can also be used to make different useable
things.

27. Innovative ideas:
 Eco-friendly products can be used
instead of plastic bottles.
 We can make polyester fabric from
thrown out plastic bottles.
