About Project Mumbai

The collaborations have set in motion the double agenda of awareness and action. Infused with careful planning to minimise environmental impact, the festival embraces beach cleanup initiatives, digital innovation, discarding printed materials to reduce paper waste.

It champions zero-waste initiatives through eco-friendly transportation options like carpooling, biking, and use of public transport, supported by information on transportation and bike parking spaces. The festival opts for reusable decorations, such as cloth banners and potted plants, achieving minimalism while reducing disposable decor waste.

With their tagline as “Mumbai ke liye kuch bhi karega”, Project Mumbai would bring a sense of shared responsibility towards the environment through well-planned initiatives throughout the nine days of the grand celebration of Aamchi Mumbai.

Participants are encouraged to bring reusable containers, water bottles, and cutlery, reinforcing the eco-conscious theme. The festival pledges to use biodegradable or compostable materials, creating an eco-friendly ambience aligned with global sustainability efforts.

The festival is making maximum efforts to utilize green energy from the power companies, modular reusable infrastructure and staging, low-energy consuming technical equipment and recyclable materials.

Awareness and Effective E-waste Management

Electronic waste, or e-waste, refers to discarded electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and other electronic gadgets. E-waste poses a looming environmental threat, as its improper disposal leads to toxic pollution and resource depletion. Urgent action is required to reduce the escalating impact of electronic waste on our planet.

To address this issue in Mumbai, effective recycling methods and responsible electronic waste management practices such as E-waste collection drives are being conducted under Mumbai Festival.

SBI Banking Partner of Mumbai Festival is taking the first step by not only educating the employees and customers but also amplifying the awareness around it through collection drives.

An endeavour designed to elevate awareness regarding environmental issues and champion sustainability through the compelling mediums of storytelling and visual media, The Earth Film Festival is an initiative driven by United Nations, International Indian Film Academy, leading film-making institutions, NFDC and the National Museum of Indian Cinema as well as PVR-INOX.
