In this edition of #InnoWin Fridays, Lokesh Puri Goswami, Co-Founder and CTO of @Angirus, explains how they are turning industrial #waste into waterproof, green building bricks, addressing the urgent need for #recyclable materials and reducing environmental impact. #ScaleUpwithMIF

This week's episode of #InnoWin Fridays features Arpit Dhupar, CEO and founder of #DharakshaEcosolutions -an alternate materials company that creates alternatives to petroleum-driven products using agricultural stock as a raw material. Hear Arpit speak about how a change in mindset can significantly reduce the volume of #plasticwaste generated and help us win the battle of #planetvsplastics.

📣We recently onboarded plastic waste management startup @withoutwasting into Scale-Up, our no-equity accelerator. It will now receive bespoke strategic & functional mentorship + network access to create environmental impact at scale while on its INR 1-100cr annual revenue growth journey! Ashaya uses a proprietary technology to extract Advanced Materials from hard-to-recycle Multi-layer Plastic (MLP) waste. It then creates products such as the world's first recycled sunglasses! #ScaleUpWithMIF @AnishMalpani

Giving life to post-harvest produce through their innovative solution, #GreenPodLabs exemplifies reducing food waste with their patented sachets, extending the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. With MIF's guidance, GreenPod Labs was able to effectively reduce manufacturing costs by onboarding a credible contract manufacturer, reducing error rates and logistics costs, leading to increased efficiency and better economics. Swipe to see how the Scale-Up Program, our no-equity #accelerator, fosters impact-led-growth, enabling the acceleration of the Agri-tech industry.

The fourth episode of #InnoWin Fridays features Rahul Chaudhary, Co-founder and CEO, @RicronPanels. Ricron Panels is a plastic recycling company that produces a building material called Ricron, which serves as a low-cost alternative to materials like plywood. Rahul suggested that the focus should start at an individual level to redefine plastic waste recycling. If individuals consciously segregate waste at the source and understand how plastics can be recycled, it would ease the supply chain activities for waste management companies and the government. Hear from him on how this shift in individual behaviour could significantly impact the plastic waste management ecosystem as we find sustainable solutions to the problem of #planetvsplastics

Today, climate change ranks among the top global challenges. Human consumption of plastic has reached unprecedented levels. The problem of #plasticwaste contributes to climate change through the emission of greenhouse gases, associated with plastic production, disposal, and incineration, resulting in global warming. It adversely impacts marine and wildlife, accelerates habitat destruction, and deteriorates human health. This Earth Day, let us commit to embracing sustainable solutions, adopting innovative technologies, and steering towards a plastic-free future. #EarthDay #PlanetVsPlastics #InnovationForGood #Sustainability
