Bisleri International Unveils ‘Binny the Bird' on World Environment Day to Champion Plastic Circularity
Binny the Bird – a unique art installation created from 2,000 upcycled PET bottles at Carter Road
Angelo George, CEO, Bisleri International, said, 'Plastic waste management is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. Through our 'Bottles for Change' initiative, we're proving that used plastic isn't waste-it's a valuable resource that can be repurposed into meaningful things.'
'This World Environment Day, Binny the Bird takes center stage as a powerful symbol of plastic circularity and sustainable transformation. This installation showcases how thoughtful recycling and creative innovation can help build a circular economy, where every PET bottle gets a second life. Our collaboration with the Bhamla Foundation strengthens this message, reinforcing the power of partnerships in driving real and lasting environmental impact.'
Asif Bhamla, Founder, Bhamla Foundation, said, 'Art has the unique power to change perspectives and inspire action. Through Binny the Bird, we are starting a conversation about environmental responsibility that reaches across communities. Our collaboration with Bisleris Bottles for Change initiative demonstrates how creative partnerships can transform environmental messaging into something that truly resonates with people. When 2,000 discarded bottles become a symbol of hope and transformation, we show that every individual action towards recycling can contribute to a larger movement for environmental change.'
Binny the Bird is a striking example of how corporate sustainability efforts can drive visible impact and engage communities in environmental education. It reflects Bisleri's commitment to circular economy principles, including recycling innovation, plastic neutrality, and responsible waste disposal.
The installation builds on Bisleri's flagship program, Bottles for Change, which promotes awareness and action on plastic waste segregation and recycling. Active in 37 municipal corporations, it has reached over 6.3 million citizens in five years, driving grassroots behavioral change.
Bisleri has also established six Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) across four states, creating efficient channels for collecting and recycling dry waste. The Benches of Dreams initiative further reinforces this by transforming plastic caps into beautiful and functional public seating.
Together, these efforts show how Bisleri turns plastic waste into valuable resources, blending creativity with community-driven sustainability.

World's 'Oldest' Baby Born From 30-Year-Old Frozen Embryo
A baby born in the US from an embryo frozen 30 years ago is believed to have broken the record for the world's 'oldest' baby. Named Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, the baby was born on July 26 from the embryo that had been cryopreserved since 1994. The baby's parents, Lindsey and Tim Pierce, who live in Ohio, had been trying to get pregnant for seven years. The breakthrough came when they "adopted" the embryo from Linda Archerd, 62, who had it stored decades ago. "We had a rough birth but we are both doing well now. He is so chill. We are in awe that we have this precious baby!" Lindsey Pierce, his mother, was quoted as saying by MIT Technology Review. It was in the early 1990s that Ms Archerd and her then-husband decided to try in vitro fertilisation (IVF) after struggling to conceive. In 1994, four embryos resulted: one was transferred to Archerd and resulted in the birth of a daughter, who is now 30 and mother to a 10-year-old. The other embryos were cryopreserved and stored. "The baby has a 30-year-old sister. It's been pretty surreal. It's hard to even believe," said Ms Archerd, who revealed that she had wanted another baby using the embryo, but her then-husband felt differently. Ms Archerd went on to divorce him, but she won custody of the embryos and kept them in storage, still hopeful she might use them one day, perhaps with another partner. AI helps couple conceive Last month, a couple trying to conceive a baby for 18 years finally managed to get pregnant thanks to the use of artificial intelligence (AI). IVF attempts were unsuccessful due to azoospermia, a rare condition in which no measurable sperm is present in the male partner's semen. Using the STAR (Sperm Tracking and Recovery) method devised by the Columbia University Fertility Center (CUFC), the couple managed to get pregnant. Researchers at the fertility centre examined the semen sample with the AI-powered system and managed to find the hidden sperm. After recovering the sperm, it was used to fertilise the wife's egg via IVF, and she became the first-ever woman to conceive using the STAR method.
