Plastic Free June: 30 Days of Sustainable Swaps Starting With Your Bag June is more than just summer in India. It's World Environment Month, World Oceans Day, and the month when India's sustainability conversation gets loudest. This June, MaLeeMa is turning the month into a movement. Here's your 30 day Plastic Free June challenge one small swap per day, starting with the one that makes the biggest visual statement.
Day 1: Swap Your Plastic or PU Bag for a MaLeeMa Banana Fiber Bag
