ASTANA: While serving as a climate change auditor with the United Nations from 2008 to 2009, P. Ramaness was confronted with the damage done to the environment by non-biodegradable food packaging materials.

“The amount of carbon dioxide emission from the waste management process of items such as plastic disposable packaging and take-away food and drink containers was shocking,” said Ramaness when met at the Malaysian Pavilion of the Astana Expo 2017 yesterday.
