To commemorate World Consumer Rights Day, the Network for Consumer Protection organized a webinar titled "Tackling Plastic Pollution" on March 15, 2021, to free Islamabad's capital city from polythene bags and set an example for other cities. The webinar aimed to improve consumer awareness of sustainable purchasing and encourage necessary changes to make addressing plastic pollution easy. "Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair, and Replace" was the campaign theme for World Consumer Rights Day 2021.

Mr. Rana Waqas Anwar, Additional Deputy Commissioner Islamabad; Mr. Babar Sahib Din, Additional Deputy Commissioner Islamabad (East); Zulfiqar Ali Jhammat, Deputy Director, Ministry of Human Rights (MoHR); and Sadham Zarjahan, CEO of the International Youth Council, presented speeches during the session. Every year, Consumers International, the global membership organization representing consumer organizations, commemorates World Consumer Rights Day to highlight the importance of consumer protection and empowerment. One of the keynote presenters, Mr. Sadham D. Zarjahan, underlined the necessity of adopting minor changes to reduce plastic use, particularly polythene bags. He mentioned that if the ICT administration encouraged people to use less plastic in their daily lives, they would be more likely to follow best practices worldwide. He emphasized the significance of consumer participation and comprehension in ensuring that the rules are followed.
