Bisleri – Bench of Dreams
Crafted entirely from recycled plastic bottles caps, the benches symbolise hope, responsibility, and collective progress. The benches backdrop is painted by Mouth Food and Paint Artist (MFPA) giving it an aesthetic appeal. The initiative leverages Bisleri International’s expertise in plastic recycling and IHCL, Goa’s commitment to sustainable practices to deliver a product that is both environmentally friendly and community centric. By strategically placing these benches in prominent locations across Taj Holiday Village Resort & Spa and Taj Fort Aguada Resorts and Spa, the initiative creates not only functional seating solutions but also awareness among in house guests and staff alike about the importance of recycling and reducing environmental impact.
