They face numerous challenges, including safety issues and disproportionate earnings. ♻️ How can startups help tackle this problem? Let's explore innovative solutions to support these essential workers and create a more equitable recycling ecosystem.

How Plastic Made With Algae Can Clean Waterways? A tech startup can turn harmful algae into plastic foam, which could help clean up waterways and reduce demand for plastic. Mixing algae into plastic also traps carbon inside the products, which could be an important tool for fighting climate change.

“Necessity is the mother of invention”. To full fill this necessity society has come up with many innovations. Innovations for what? Innovation to use pollution, the same one we have created over the years. We have come up with many inventions to retract the pollution we have caused. Be it carbon capture technology, plastic waste startups, waste recycling and reuse enterprises, or E-waste startups, all of it is based on reusing the things we have wasted. We are reusing our pollution to find raw materials for future businesses. Reusing our waste is not only economical but also good for the planet. We need to find more ways to prolong the life of our products and reuse resources as many times as possible. These resources are hidden in the pollution and waste we have created, waiting to be discovered. #climatestartupschool #sustainability #innovation #climatetech #climatechange #climateinnovation #pollution #reusing #sustanibility #climateaction

How can one innovate, save the environment and contribute to the society at the same time? 🤔 Radhika Chaudhary answers this with her startup Ricron Panels! With plastic waste becoming a major environmental concern, Ricron strives to transform this difficult-to-recycle waste into high-quality building materials. ♻ Their innovative technology converts non-recyclable plastic waste into waterproof, rust-proof, fire-retardant, and heat-resistant sheets, with advantages including reduced cost, enhanced durability and increased versatility. Radhika's vision goes beyond just creating a product; it's about revolutionising waste management. Ricron Panels sources its waste from ragpickers, contributing to a cleaner environment and empowering the informal waste collection sector. The production process itself is remarkably sustainable, with no additional waste generated, and at the same time, saving tonnes of carbon emissions.

At The Honest Home Company🌿, we're committed to reshaping the way we produce by embracing the principles of the circular economy. This system ensures materials never become waste and nature is regenerated, unlike the traditional "take, make, throw away" method. Right now, only 9% of the economy works this way📉. The Sustainable Europe Research Institute says we waste 21 billion tons of materials globally when manufacturing things. This isn't just wasted materials; it's wasted energy and resources too. 💡 We believe in the power of the circular economy. We're already seeing good results. In June alone, we kept 11.54 tonnes of plastic out of landfills. Going circular isn't just about recycling. It’s about rethinking how we create and use everything. If we do this, we'll help the economy, people, and nature, and we'll create a better future for everyone♻️. 🤝 Join us in embracing the circular economy. Let's build a better and greener future together.

Do you imagine life without plastic? We are taking small steps to make it a reality and true to our name - NULLTOX - we pledge to replace plastic with non-toxic and natural products. We envision a future without fossil fuel derived products and replacing them with biodegradable and sustainable products by converting waste to wealth. We are on a journey to replace products made out of plastic and its derivatives with application in home utility, consumer packaging and paper industry. #CircularEconomy #WasteToWealth #Sustainability #SustainableDevelopment #PostHarvest #Startup #MaterialEcology
