Hon. Sunil Handunnetti stated that recycling and collection efforts require a whole-of-society approach rather than action by a single Ministry. He noted that private entities are already involved and said that, under the Clean Sri Lanka programme, inter-agency coordination is underway. He undertook to refer the proposal to the Advisory Committee and prepare an action plan.

¶ 01 Hon. Member, this requires a whole-of-society effort, not just one Ministry. Some private entities are already supporting recycling and collection centres. Under the Clean Sri Lanka programme, we are coordinating inter-agency actions. We will take your proposal to the Advisory Committee and prepare an action plan.
