  “To do good, you actually have to do something” Since its invention and widespread introduction into the economy, plastic has become a valuable part of business and daily life. Our actions have created more than 8.3 billion metric tons of it around the world. If we were able to take all of that plastic and switch it into a single grocery bag, it might hold the entire planet. Infact, it is projected that with the present rate 30 years down the line we will produce enough plastic waste to double-bag the Planet. However, the problem is not with the production but the indiscriminate disposal, cause more than 76% of all plastic ends up as waste. Infact, nearly 50% of the plastic waste we now produce each year is just used once, often just for a few minutes. So, the single-use packaging that we throw away each year represents  $100 billion of economic value  and that’s a figure worth paying attention to. Whether we like it or not, we all are living in a wo...

  “Your Data, Our Responsibility”“Your Data, Our Responsibility” Regardless of industry or size, organizations lately believe data drives business. Whether, it is assembling, using, buying, transferring, or storing data, there’s one issue businesses have in common: they have to work out what to do with that data once it’s not necessary to stay. With the amount of knowledge breaches have increased exponentially over the last decade, following best practices for secure data destruction is important, especially when recycling or removing or reorganizing data. Not only is it vital to make sure your data is wiped from recycled devices. It’s also important to back-up any necessary information. Many products that appear broken still have sensitive data. This data is often restored and transferred to other devices, which could end in your personal or business da...

“Cradle to Cradle is like good gardening; it is not about saving the planet but about learning to thrive on it.” Around 80 percent of all products sold either through online shopping or traditional shopping use cardboard packaging.

“Think outside the trash… RECYCLE!” The amount of  waste we produce is growing day by day , and our offices play a large part in it!

Reduce  what you do need; reconsider just how...

“There is no such thing as ‘Away’. When we throw anything away, it must go somewhere” Today humans generate more waste than ever before which is not only an environmental problem but also an economic loss. On an average, over 377 million urban people living in 7,935 towns and cities generate almost 62 million tonnes (MT) of municipal solid waste per annum. Of this waste generated only 43 MT of the waste is collected, 12 MT is treated and 31 MT is dumped in landfill sites by municipal authorities within or outside the city haphazardly, creating various issues like: Waste collector dumping waste on road sides creating unhygienic condition Solid waste disposal often takes up valuable and costly land Your dry waste is not giving you any earning No facility to treat wet waste on-site No resource recovery from waste Therefore,  Solid Waste Management  issue is the biggest challenge to the authorities of both small and large cities in developing countries. The problem is posed due to...
