2025 World Environment Day theme, ‘Ending Global Plastic Pollution’
This year’s (2025) World Environment Day theme, ‘Ending Global
Plastic Pollution’
V. Govindarajan, Founder and Managing Director, Aarthi Scans and Labs
05 June 2025: On this World
Environment Day, we urge everyone to work together to achieve a plastic-free
planet, in line with the theme ‘Ending Global Plastic Pollution’.
Plastic
waste—from industrial activities to everyday single-use items—ends up in oceans
and rivers, harming ecosystems and communities. It’s time to embrace
alternatives and foster sustainable habits at every level.
At Aarthi
Scans and Labs, we’ve reduced PVC film usage by 7%, cutting down about 2,600 kg
of plastic films through digital sharing of CT and MRI scans.
We have also
retrofitted our diagnostic centres with LEDs, energy-efficient HVAC systems,
and solar panels, reducing energy bills by 12%.
We must all
go beyond this by promoting reusable materials such as jute, glass, steel, and
paper, and by strengthening recycling systems. Together, we can make a real
difference and create a greener, cleaner world.
