Welcome to CRUSH4CHANGE

As the pilot project C4C is working in and around the Khanpur community. We help the local waste collectors to get higher prices for the collected plastic waste by offering simple value addition by changing the existing Collect and Sale approach to Crush and Sale concept. The initiative helped increase the incomes for the most marginalized segment of the Khanpur community. The crushed waste can be easily sold to the plastic recycling industry at a premium price, offering extra income and improving livelihood while simultaneously addressing the needs of the recycling industry for pre-processed materials.

This initiative fosters a collaborative ecosystem where both the community and industry benefit, promoting long-term economic and environmental sustainability. Join us in our journey towards regenerating environment, empowering communities and helping businesses to promote circular economy.

Message by Our President

I think the real power behind the project was my deep conviction that the need to promote the circular economy has become a critical realization today. The sooner we find practical ways to implement it, the better off our world can be. I just needed to be the change element within the system without trying to recreate the whole system. It was really a profound moment of clarity and awakening for me. There was a calm detached from the results and any high expectations, it was a space that said: You have the power to be the change, the world needs
