Pioneering Circular Ecology & Social Justice

From patented plastic recycling technologies to empowering thousands of informal waste pickers and UNHCR refugee women, explore how we connect waste abatement with human dignity.

Pillar 01

Circular Livelihoods & Artisans

Transforming Delhi's most vulnerable informal ragpickers and UNHCR Afghan refugee women into skilled craftswomen and entrepreneurs. We provide certified Fair Trade training, dignified working conditions, healthcare, and financial literacy.

  • Grassroots Recyclers: Organized Delhi/Haryana Waste Collectors Association.
  • Akseer Refugee Program: Empowering Afghan refugee women with vocational stitching.
  • Footprints & Wastepreneurs: Incubation hubs in Delhi & Ghaziabad.
Pillar 02

Research & Informed Making

Our patented Handmade Recycled Plastic (HRP) technology (patented 2008 via WIPO/Govt. of India) thermocompresses discarded polythene bags into durable, leather-like materials without chemical dyes or toxic runoff.

  • Zero Chemical Dyes: Colors derived 100% from sorted waste plastic.
  • Alternative to Leather: High tensile strength, water-resistant material.
  • Design-Led Upcycling: Fusing traditional Indian craftsmanship with modern circular design.
Pillar 03

Events & Policy Advocacy

Championing the formal inclusion of informal waste workers in municipal waste frameworks and national Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policy guidelines across India.

  • Waste Collectors Association: 3,000+ ragpicker members registered and represented.
  • Civic & EPR Policy: Advocating fair wage mandates in corporate EPR frameworks.
  • Public Awareness: Zero-waste exhibitions, panels, and environmental campaigns.
Pillar 04

Zero Waste Communities & Relief

Decentralized neighborhood waste segregation models, compost hubs, and rapid crisis response like Project Sahyog, which delivered food and relief to migrant waste-picking families.

  • Project Sahyog: Top 50 national emergency responder during COVID-19.
  • Community Segregation: Source segregation training in residential and school clusters.
  • Sanitation & Health Camps: Routine medical screenings and protective gear for workers.
