Waste Management

Advancing a Circular Economy Through Waste Transformation

We Turn Waste Into Opportunity for People and Planet

We are dedicated to advancing a circular economy by transforming plastic and biodegradable waste into valuable resources—specifically reusable planters and organic vermicompost. By doing so, it addresses environmental pollution, promotes sustainable resource use, and creates green job opportunities for youth and women, especially in underserved urban and peri-urban communities.

Key Activities
Community Awareness and Education Campaigns
We conduct outreach activities to educate communities about circular economy principles, plastic pollution, and the value of recycling and composting. Use workshops, school programs, street campaigns, and social media to build public support and engagement.
Plastic Waste Collection and Sorting Systems
We establish designated collection points in communities, schools, and markets for gathering plastic waste. Train youth and women groups in proper sorting of plastics by type and quality to prepare for recycling.
Plastic Repurposing into Planters
We set up local micro-workshops or green innovation hubs equipped with basic tools to clean, cut, and creatively repurpose plastic waste into reusable planters for urban gardens, schools, and household farming. Include artistic design elements to add aesthetic value.
Skills Training in Plastic Upcycling and Green Design
We Offer practical training programs for youth and women in plastic craft making, mold design, painting, and sustainable product marketing. This empowers participants to turn waste into sellable, attractive garden items and home décor.
Green Job Creation and Enterprise Support
We support youth and women entrepreneurs to form small eco-enterprises around waste collection, plastic product making, compost production, and garden installation. We provide seed capital, marketing support, and access to local eco-fairs or green marketplaces.
Monitoring Environmental and Economic Impact

We track data on plastic waste diverted from landfills, compost produced, jobs created, and gardens supported. Use this information for reporting, community motivation, and refining future activities.

Partnerships and Policy Engagement
We collaborate with local governments, NGOs, recyclers, and educational institutions to strengthen systems, advocate for supportive policies, and scale up successful practices.
