NEW DELHI: To spread awareness about the recently implemented ban on single-use plastic (SUP) items, the government will impart training to the members of various eco-clubs in the city. 

This training programme, to be conducted on July 19, is being conducted in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). There are around 2,000 eco-clubs in Delhi.

The members of the eco clubs will further help create awareness across the capital about the impact of SUP on the environment and its available alternatives, an official said.

The government will conduct a training session for its enforcement teams so that there is no confusion while implementing the ban, said officials.
