Kanchenjunga is melting…….
waste mis-management adds to the crisis

An integrated building

The Waste Innovation Center (WIC) is an improved and efficient way to stop any waste from reaching a landfill.


We envision WIC to be a state-of-the-art Material Recovery Facility where the waste collected from our village and the wider community is processed, with the goal to UPCYCLE the waste instead of just bailing it and sending it back to the recycling/downcycling chain. We at WIC, aim at pursuing the truth by creating whole system design-based circular processes that help us eliminate the existence of waste

To change the perception of waste we are working towards

01

Reforming

First-of-its-kind Material Recovery Facility (MRF) that is managed by the community for the community it serves.

02

Educating

Inspiring & engaging the local community through awareness and behaviour change workshops.

03

Redefining

Create Circular economy that boosts local regenerative entrepreneurship.
