About Kiran Kanwar

Nature is the best Recycler’ – Everything that ‘Nature’ produces is recycled perfectly without creating a mess. Humans are a derivative and part of ‘Nature’; but unfortunately, we are the ones who are destroying the ‘Nature’ just because we are not following the simple rule of ‘Nature’ itself - Recycling. At times we wonder that how hard it can be ‘To Throw the right thing at the right place!’, as by simply following this phenomenon every city can seamlessly follow the process of Recycling & Upcycling. We are involved in the process of Waste Management & ensure that the entire amount of Recyclables (Waste) that we collect gets processed. Our expertise lies in recycling | upcycling the items that more often than not reach the landfills – Single Use Plastics | Wet / Food Waste | Horticulture / Agricultural Waste | Cigarette Butts. Whilst ensuring the optimization in the process of Recycling, we also ensure that the manpower engaged in the process lead a dignified life. We start with upgrading the skill set of the ‘safai karamcharis’ by offering them proper training, followed by providing them with proper kit & equipment. Further, as the nature of work is risky; there is always a possibility of exposure to hazardous material such as needles | human/ animal excreta | broken glass | harmful chemicals (simply because people consider it their civic right to have their home, workplace, and city clean, but forget to instill the basic civic sense to segregate), we ensure that the ‘safai karamcharis’ are insured and medically covered in case of any unforeseen circumstance. While the government authorities are struggling to find solutions as to how to process the waste which is reaching the Landfills; we are working towards creating a process to ensure that NO Recyclables ever reach the Landfills. We have developed technologies and are working on smart solutions rather than following the rudimentary ways to manage the recyclables, especially the wet| food waste. As a matter of fact, we have applied two (02) patents to this effect. Contributing in sustainable activities is what my heart yearns for. However, the mind persuades me to equally pursue my passion towards Real Estate. Been in the trade since Y’ and have been blessed to be associated with the leaders and the mentors of the trade – Omaxe | DLF | Central Park | Adani | Baderwal. In this long journey, I have had my share to touch every aspect of the trade & had been fortunate to work with great teams and aware customers and had been able to be a part of some landmark projects through the journey.

   Nature\' is the Biggest \'Recycler\' of all times. Nothing that \'Nature\' produces creates a mess, even after its \'Life Cycle\' is over. Whether it\'s Plants, Animals or Humans - once the life span is over,\'Nature\' converts it back to its very origin. As a matter of fact, post the life cycle is over, the Recycled version at times is much more valuable and unique version of the original form - for instance Diamonds and Fuel.From this cue, about a decade back we created a platform to educate, motivate & inspire people to ‘Throw the Recyclables at the Right Place’. Since the Year 2013, our team has been organizing sessions at various Schools, Corporate Offices | Manufacturing Units and Residential Societies to motivate people and inculcate the habit of ‘Throwing at the Right Place’; as ‘Segregation’ is the first step towards a Sustainable Environment which can be achieved by effective Recycling | Upcycling. In addition, our team collects Recyclables (Organic & Inorganic)(Wet & Dry Waste) from various sources (Residential Households | Corporate Houses | Manufacturing Units | Hotels, etc.) & ensures that every single bit of it reaches the Recycling units. Through this foundation, we not only contribute our bit in saving the Environment, but also help the people engaged in the trade (sanitation workers | ‘safai karamcharis’) earn dignity and respect in the society, which they are more often than not deprived of by providing them the required skill set and the requisite equipment and safety kit. In a nutshell, we can define ourselves as a platform to bring people from all strata on a common ground to achieve a singular goal of living a better life by breathing purer air and consuming non-toxic food & water in a pollution free sustainable environment.
