MUMBAI: Bollywood actress Dia Mirza took to social media to celebrate a breakthrough in sustainable innovation.

'In her post, the ‘Sanju’ actress mentioned how the startup transforms up to five tons of unrecyclable plastic waste per month into high-quality circular materials while providing waste workers with higher wages, health benefits, and dignity, reflecting a vision of inclusive innovation. Dia emphasizes that this is more than just technological innovation — it’s inclusive innovation. The plant not only tackles plastic waste but also benefits the people involved in the recycling process, offering 2–3 times higher salaries.

“The launch comes at the heels of a $1.9 million Seed Funding round, supported by truly patient impact capital. I’m proud to join this journey as strategic advisor, investor, and advocate alongside partners who believe that science, justice, and sustainability can — and must — go hand in hand.”
