Dr. S. Chandrasekhar stated that the G20 RIIG conclave is dedicated to promoting a sustainable future by educating the public on the importance of zero waste management, and that the goal of this gathering was to beautifully frame the conversation and inspire people to take action towards reducing waste and preserving our planet. The goal of the conference, according to Dr. Rajesh S.
