NIFT UG 2018 Question Paper with solutions

 SWACH cooperative conducted the brand audit survey at three locations Bavdhan, Kothrud and Garware bridge from 16 th May to 20 th May, 2018 . According to the survey, 87% of the waste was attributable to local\/Indian brand owners such as Haldiram, Parle, ITC, Amul and Britannia international, while 13% of the waste was attributable to international brand owners (or Indian subsidiaries) such as Unilever, Nestle, Mondelez (Cadbury) and Coca Cola. International brands while having a smaller share, are being used throughout the world so would have a higher share in the total global waste. Supriya Bhadakwad, a SWACH waste picker involved in the brand audit, said, "We sort and send all the hard plastics, shampoo bottles, carry bags, PET bottles and milk packets for recycling every day. But items like food product packaging, chips and biscuit covers, we cannot sell because they have no value. Companies using these materials should either change the packaging and make it recyclable or buy this sort of material from us at affordable rates. That way we can collect and sell it. It will increase our income and reduce the waste going into the landfill." They also found 86% of the branded packaging was from food product packaging, followed by 8% personal care products and 6% household products.
