🎉 On June 10th, we celebrated a major milestone in Bangladesh's journey towards a greener future! The brand-new Faridpur Plastic Pyrolysis Plant is now officially open! This innovative plant treats 360kg of single-use plastic daily, transforming waste into valuable energy. With the incredible support of Practical Action, Faridpur Municipality, RiverRecycle, Society Development Committee - SDC, and the Danida Green Business Partnerships / Danida Market Development Partnerships, this initiative not only tackles plastic pollution but also creates jobs and reduces fossil fuel consumption. We were honored to have Amitave Bose, Mayor of Faridpur Municipality, chair the event and Ali Mushtaq Butt, Commercial Counsellor and Head of Trade Mission & Sustainable Infrastructure Finance at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, as our chief guest. Special guests included Dr. Zaki Uz Zaman, Country Representative of UNIDO, Uttam Kumar Saha, Country Manager of Water & Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP), and Ayan Banerjee, Asia Regional Director of Practical Action. The event featured the opening of the plant, a tour, a youth cycle rally around the city, and a seminar. 🚴♂️ Here's to a greener, cleaner future for Bangladesh! #pyrolysis #DMDP

    🌟 We are thrilled to announce that Green Worms, RiverRecycle, and the Kochi Municipal Corporation have joined forces to clean up the heavily clogged Rameswaram Canal in Kochi. It's a significant achievement in our mission to combat plastic pollution. Significant waste reaches the oceans through rivers, so we must recognize the importance of canals and smaller tributaries. Our success in this project demonstrates the importance of collaboration and shared goals in stopping plastic pollution and moving towards a circular economy.    Follow us and get in touch to get involved! #riverrecycle #plasticwaste #riverplastic

    Green Worms has teamed up with RiverRecycle and Kochi Municipal Corporation to prevent plastic waste from reaching water bodies. Together, we cleaned Rameswaram Canal in Kochi, which was clogged with a plastic waste dump. Every year, an estimated 8 million tonnes of plastic waste enter the oceans, equivalent to a garbage truck dumping every minute. Plastic waste primarily reaches the ocean through rivers, canals, and other water bodies. This initiative is possible only through the shared-mission approach. We need more such partnership models to stop plastic pollution & to make a transition to Circularity. Do reach out to our colleague Marwan P.J, MBA, CMA to learn more about the initiative and explore partnership opportunities.

    On World Environment Day we want to highlight one of our youngest projects, based in Kochi, Kerala. We installed our boom in February, and we are already collecting up to 200kg per day of waste that would otherwise be discarded in the Arabian Sea. Our team in India is once again doing incredible work, mirroring the success of our previous project in Mumbai. This project is a collaboration with the incredible Green Worms. Check their pages or contact our area director Yashwant D for more information. #riverrecycle #worldenvironmentday #rivercleanup #kochi
