We are a bootstrapped startup with a small team, so sustainable packaging alternatives turn out to be too expensive for us at the moment.
That being said, we are doing our bit (because we believe a small step > not doing anything), and are working on having more sustainable business practices.
One such effort is a recycling empties program “Green Qween”, in partnership with Stree Mukti Sanghatana’s (SMS’) programme—Parisar Bhagini Vikas Sangh (PBVS). It is a registered organisation targeting women waste pickers of Mumbai.
More on their programme:
Waste handling in India is a caste and gender-based activity that forces women to work in unhygienic conditions with irregular and inadequate incomes. Parisar Bhagini Vikas Sangh organised these women into self-help groups (SHGs) and later supported the formation of women cooperatives. The intervention teaches women to differentiate between the different kinds of waste and how to process them accordingly. Additionally, the women were provided with life skills such as health awareness, legal literacy, good parenting and leadership training along with counseling sessions to encourage them to ensure their safety while at work. Furthermore, skilling and vocational training initiatives are conducted for the group. Complimentary activities such as dispensaries, health camps and education initiatives are also conducted for the members and their children.
SMS-PBVS have also championed the dry and wet waste processing methodologies. Together they cater to over 250 MT (every month) of dry waste at 8 wards of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM). They also operate in Thane and Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporations.
How does the Green Qween program work?
Step 1: Be a qween and dry and clean your empties (plastic or glass bottles).
Step 2: Place them in a packaging box. In case you’re sending glass, ensure you wrap it up with lots of paper shreds or newspaper. Remember to mark the box fragile.
Step 3: Courier the package to any of the following dry waste collection centres in Mumbai:
