We have recycled over 350,000 kg of plastic waste so far, a journey that has been validated by features in major media and recognition from national leaders. We share these milestones not to boast, but to show that real, tangible environmental impact is possible when we stop viewing plastic as trash and start seeing it as a resource. Our journey has not been about going viral overnight. It has been about the slow, steady work of collecting, shredding, and upcycling plastic that would otherwise end up in landfills. Being featured in major news outlets like Amar Ujala and Hindustan for our work at the Global Investors Summit, or presenting our model to the LG of Delhi, keeps us grounded. It validates that our small, conscious choices, like manufacturing benches from 45kg of recycled waste, can scale to create meaningful social change. Whether we are speaking at TEDx or receiving mentorship from the CBC Foundation, our focus remains the same: turning plastic pollution into a cycle of value. We have partnered with schools, corporations, and government bodies to install benches, supply eco-friendly stationery, and design gifts that carry a story. Every product you see here represents a step toward a zero-waste future. If you are looking to integrate sustainability into your office, school, or home, let us help you find the right fit. From CSR infrastructure to everyday desk essentials, we work to ensure your contribution helps us divert more plastic from our oceans and soil. Join us in making 'shuruaat', the beginning, of a cleaner tomorrow. ## About Econscious We are Sonal and Vaibhav, the founders of Econscious. Our work is a direct reflection of our belief that waste is a design flaw, not an end point. When you connect with us, you are joining a mission to turn trash into treasure.
