Our Journey: Turning Plastic Waste Into Impact

How It All Started

Our journey began on a mountain trek where we saw more plastic than nature. It was disheartening, but instead of just feeling bad, we decided to act. We started Econscious as a small experiment, crafting tiny decor pieces from waste. Soon, we realised that to make a real difference, we had to think bigger. That is how our transition from hobbyists to a full-fledged startup happened.

Milestones in Our Mission

Building an eco-friendly startup in India has been a path of learning and persistence. We have been fortunate to receive support and recognition along the way:

• G20 Startup20: We were honoured to present our vision at the G20 Startup20 summit, sharing how circular economy principles can be applied locally.
• National Recognition: Being featured in publications like Punjab Kesari, Hindustan, and Navbharat Times helped us reach more people who want to embrace sustainability.
• Mentorship: Programs like the CBC Foundation and the ACIR Nexus (a US Embassy program) were crucial in helping us refine our process and scale our production.
• Global Investors Summit: Standing alongside entrepreneurs to meet the Honorable President and the Chief Minister of UP was a reminder of how far our 'waste-to-wonder' mission has come.

Why This Matters

Every product you see here, from our planters to our bookshelves, is a piece of our story. We aren't just selling decor; we are showing that post-consumer plastic can be beautiful, durable, and functional. Today, we have successfully diverted over 3,50,000 kgs of plastic from landfills. We believe our story is just beginning, and we are grateful to have you join us on this path to a cleaner, greener future.
