UNDP Accelerator Lab Partnership
This groundbreaking partnership represents our largest community impact project to date. Working closely with UNDP Nepal's Accelerator Lab and Blue Waste to Value, we've successfully converted over 2000kg of plastic waste, primarily shampoo bottles, into 20+ durable public benches installed across Lalitpur Metropolitan City. The project demonstrates the practical application of circular economy principles while creating tangible community benefits.
