  • A strategic model for companies and governments to reduce plastic pollution by creating closed-loop circular economies in mega-cities (pilot: Mumbai).

  • Focus areas:
    • Efficient segregation, collection, and recycling of plastic waste
    • Partnerships between companies, local industry, and government
    • Development of sustainable brand networks (e.g., PPE Alliance, linked to EU Circular Plastic Alliance)
    • Incentive systems for accountability (bonus schemes, digital tools)
    • Manufacturing of products (from furniture to art) using recycled materials, ensuring “what comes to the city stays in the city”
    Benefits for companies:
    • Cost reduction through shared resources
    • Brand positioning as sustainable leaders
    • Compliance with global circular economy standards
    • Access to innovative product lines made from recycled plastic
