Kabadiwalla Connect supports local communities to tap into India’s informal waste ecosystem and turn waste into materials of value. Over 1,000 tons of paper, 400 tons of plastic, 2,000 tons of metal and nearly 1 million bottles of waste have been recycled thus far, empowering a network of over 500 local scrap dealers. The project not only takes urgent action to reduce waste, but also ensures decent work and livelihoods for workers in country’s informal economic sector
