Entrepreneurship

Waste is a growing problem and lot of companies are working on it. So why does the problem still exist in this huge magnitude? Maybe we can learn from automobile industry and apply the principles of ‘breaking it down’.

Outline

Binbag is on a mission to democratize recycling. One waste at a time. We are solving the first mile problem of e-waste because we believe that the problem starts when it is not collected at source. We are leveraging technology to connect the nearest waste picker / collection centers through a mobile app (Uber for recycling?) and creating an inclusive society by bringing the kabadiwalas into the network.
