EPIC 2019 Finalist Saahas Zero Waste's mission is to create an impactful waste management solution that maximizes resource recovery. Their vision is to create a zero-waste world circular economy.
Saahas Zero Waste creates a socially and environmentally sustainable enterprise for those at the bottom of the pyramid. They divert 65000 KG of waste from landfills every day, reduce more than 37400 MT CO2e of greenhouse gas reduction every year, and employ 252 people from the lower socio-economic groups.
Saahas Zero Waste is centered around the principles of a circular economy and a global commitment to Sustainable Development Goals.
