At Circle Up by Saahas Zero Waste, we are committed to closing the loop in the circular economy by transforming discarded materials into valuable resources. Our meticulous recycling process involves sorting, washing, and drying various types of waste, which are then converted into practical, eco-friendly products. By repurposing materials that would otherwise end up in landfills, we not only reduce the demand for new resources but also significantly decrease environmental impact. This approach ensures that we are doing our part to preserve natural resources while creating sustainable solutions.

We are proud to offer a variety of products made from recycled materials, each designed to serve a unique purpose while promoting sustainability. Eco-boards, made from recycled multi-layer single-use plastics, are an excellent alternative to conventional building materials like plywood, MDF, and cement sheets. These eco-friendly boards are corrosion-proof, fire-resistant, water-resistant, and termite-resistant, making them ideal for use in construction, furniture, shuttering solutions, and many other customized applications. By opting for eco-boards, industries like FMCG and pharma can reduce their plastic waste footprint while benefiting from a durable and versatile material.

Another product line we offer is furniture made from recycled plastic. Combining durability with modern design, our recycled plastic furniture provides an excellent solution for eco-conscious spaces. By using recycled plastic, we not only help reduce landfill waste but also provide an aesthetically pleasing and practical solution for homes, offices, and public spaces. Similarly, our construction materials made from recycled plastic offer a sustainable alternative that reduces the environmental impact of traditional building materials. These products provide durability and functionality, all while keeping plastic waste out of landfills.

In addition to plastic, we also produce a range of products made from recycled paper. These customizable items help save trees, reduce energy consumption, and provide eco-friendly solutions for consumers who prioritize sustainability. Similarly, our up-cycled textile products not only provide aesthetic value but also help reduce textile waste, supporting livelihoods and offering an alternative to post-consumer textile disposal. Our recycled ceramic products offer an elegant and eco-friendly option, stylishly replacing plastic with a more sustainable material.

Each of these products is crafted with the aim of reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability. By choosing our recycled and upcycled products, you are not only making an eco-conscious decision but also supporting our Social Inclusion program. This program partners with Self-Help Groups and individuals from marginalized backgrounds or with disabilities, creating economic opportunities and empowering these communities.

To explore our range of exciting and sustainable products, please contact us. By choosing Circle Up, you're not only contributing to a circular economy but also supporting a more inclusive, sustainable future for all.

Saahas Zero Waste (SZW) offers a comprehensive and effective waste management solution, helping organizations transition toward a zero waste model. By focusing on resource recovery and adhering to the Solid Waste Management Rules 2016, our services cater to a wide range of sectors, ensuring compliance and sustainability. Our solutions are customized for Bulk Waste Generators (BWGs), including educational institutions, corporate offices, industrial townships, tech parks, and facility managers. Our key services and methodologies ensure waste is managed responsibly, from generation to disposal, with a strong emphasis on resource recovery and circular economy principles.

Waste Audits and Systems Design
We begin with a detailed waste audit and then develop customized, integrated waste management plans. These plans are tailored for different waste streams and designed to improve overall waste diversion and recycling efforts.

Source Segregation
Our team works to implement effective source segregation strategies by placing appropriate bins, offering signage, and conducting awareness programs. This initiative improves the sorting of waste at the point of generation.

Food Waste Composting and Bio-methanation
Our food waste management solutions involve composting and bio-methanation to convert organic waste into valuable compost or biogas, thereby reducing landfill waste and supporting sustainable practices.

Dry Waste Sorting and Management
We manage dry waste recycling through sorting, aggregation, and logistics. Dry waste is processed through our partner facilities for recycling, ensuring the highest environmental standards.

Extended Producer's Responsibility (EPR) - Entrepreneur Development Program

Saahas Zero Waste's Entrepreneur Development Program, particularly through the "Let’s Transform" initiative, is addressing the inclusivity challenge within India’s waste management sector. This program is designed to formalize and professionalize the sector, creating entrepreneurial opportunities while ensuring compliance with EPR and other waste management regulations.

The Inclusivity Challenge:

Despite formal waste management laws like the Solid Waste Management Rules 2016, a significant portion of waste management remains informal, with much of the waste collection, processing, and recycling occurring in the informal sector.

Formalizing the Sector:

Through the ‘Let’s Transform’ Program, Saahas Zero Waste is leveraging multi-stakeholder partnerships and an entrepreneurship model to integrate waste workers into the formal waste management system, ensuring a more inclusive and professionalized workforce.

Target Audience for ‘Let’s Transform’ Program:

Bulk Waste Generators:

Organizations such as apartments, tech parks, and institutions seeking to implement decentralized waste management systems.

Brand Owners:

Businesses looking to establish formal, ethical, and transparent supply chains to claim EPR credits.

Recyclers:

Organizations aiming to source or set up recovered materials through ethical and transparent supply chains.

Government Local Bodies:

Local authorities looking to establish formalized, efficient, inclusive, and compliant material recovery systems.

Social Inclusion Process:

The ‘Let’s Transform’ Program focuses on systemic change through a structured approach, including comprehensive assessments of technical, socio-economic, and ecological systems in specific geographies. This ensures that interventions are tailored and impactful.

Core Activities of Social Inclusivity Program:

Entrepreneur Selection:

Identifying and profiling potential project leaders or entrepreneurs based on their skills, personality, and abilities.

Implementation Plan Development:

A clear action plan with defined deliverables and a dedicated support team to assist project leaders in achieving the project’s goals.
