Chennai Metro Rail Limited in association with GREGO Recycling Pvt Ltd - a startup company, has come up with a unique idea after much research of converting old plastic waste into recyclable planter vases. This is a boon to society in reducing the Air pollution and controlling the plastic waste which effects global warming.

A total of 400 nos of planted vases were installed on the Pillar of Chennai Metro Station Koyambedu (parking area), a total of 1250 plants have been planted in these vases, this vertical garden initiative comes with a complete drip irrigation system which ensures minimum water for all plants thereby reducing wastage of water. These plants also absorb more carbon dioxide from air, thereby reducing air pollution and giving way to fresh air.

Chennai Metro Rail Limited in collaboration with GREGO has further plans of installing vertical garden on more number of pillars in Metro Stations as an initiative towards GREEN INDIA
