Additional services
Awareness Training
Recycle
Awareness about the importance of sustainable waste management and its best practices are the key to ensuring its effective adoption. Our training and awareness sessions incorporate the basics of waste segregation, waste types, and how one could minimize their carbon footprint.
We customize our training, awareness and engagement sessions for all sorts of audiences, ranging from school students to senior management in large corporate agencies. Our sessions are generally delivered as a part of our SOP, prior to commencing operations at our client premises, to the housekeeping staff and waste generators. However, we also take up specially designed engagement sessions and activities on an ad hoc basis as well.
Construction & Demolition Waste
Recycle
The rapid increase in population and urbanisation has led to a boom in the construction industry over the past decade. According to studies by the Centre of Science and Environment (CSE), India was estimated to be generating 50 million tons of construction and demolition waste in 2013. By 2020, it is assumed that the number will go up to 287 million tons per annum.
Saahas Zero Waste has taken a proactive step towards adopting the Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016 as part of the holistic waste management solutions offered. Partnering with authorised vendors and certified recyclers for handling different streams of waste generated at a construction project, SZW keeps in-line with its zero waste philosophy by extending its services to clients looking for solutions for a sustainable construction project while complying with all the regulations.
Assured End Destinations
MATERIAL RECOVERY FACILITY (DRY WASTE)
Recycle
Saahas Zero Waste operates one of the biggest Material Recovery Facilities (MRF) in Karnataka. MRF represents the future of dry waste management in India. It is a mechanised processing factory for dry waste that focuses on complete resource recovery. The objective is to move us closer to a circular economy and achieve the global goals around sustainable development.
Each category is first segregated into 20 categories, compacted for easy storage and dispatched to authorised end destinations. The waste that is sent to recyclers are transformed into products such as stationery, chip boards, and t-shirts.
Textile Recovery Facility (TRF)
Recycle
Annually, India generates 8.5% of the total textile waste worldwide, which amounts to a staggering 7793 kilo tons. Post-consumer waste accounts for 51% of this quantity. Unfortunately, the recycling rate for this textile waste is less than 1%. The majority of this waste is either incinerated or disposed of in land-fills, resulting in land, water, and air contamination and loss of resources.

In addition to this colossal waste, it is worth noting that more than 90% of
workers working with textile waste are from the informal sector.
For the
last three years, Saahas Zero Waste, has actively worked to create a
sustainable and systematic value chain for the recovery of pre- and
post-consumer textile waste.
Recycle
Our Textile Recovery Facility (TRF) is one of the first of its kind in the country, dedicated to process post-consumer textile waste in order to maximize textile recovery. Our facility has systems and infrastructure to segregate and sort textile waste for reuse, repair, up-cycling and recycling the incoming textile waste. We have developed a dedicated supply chain, including collection and processing through manual and technological interventions to defined end-destinations for the processed textile waste. The facility complies with labour laws, health and safety standards and we ensure that our staff receives fair wages, and social benefits.
Through our TRF, we have upskilled several people from the Base of the Economic Pyramid, creating better employment opportunities in the formal sector. Our efforts are not just towards reducing environmental impact but also towards creating more and better job opportunities.
OTHER END DESTINATIONS (WET WASTE)
