i had moved to delhi from the u.k. and i was absolutely shocked. plastic people were using so freely basically you know not sounding that negative health impact of it or the negative impact it has on the environment as well i don't think anyone really cared about what they were eating out of how they were littering where their waste ended up and i think in a country where 1300000000 people you know there was a real need for a solution so being a biomass rich nation and having new such products abroad i thought why not make an india. company has $120.00 employees but for single it's not just. matter of creating jobs and eco friendly products it's also about consciously making green choices throughout the process by equal waste products are delivered by amazon a service that produces huge carbon emissions single has taken the stance of making her company's packaging plastic 3. way are a complete circular economy model so 100 percent of our revenue is derived from the circular economy so we have 0 waste process any pulp that's come out that you know m
