EcoKaari's mission is to humanize fashion. They upcycle single-use plastic waste into handcrafted fabrics using traditional Indian techniques like Charkha (spindle) and Handloom. These fabrics are then made into various products such as bags, wallets, and home décor items. EcoKaari also emphasizes empowering women and youth artisans from underprivileged backgrounds and providing sustainable livelihoods to many individuals involved in the upcycling and manufacturing processes as well as helping to reduce plastic waste.
EcoKaari encourages individuals and companies to donate their waste plastic to support their upcycling efforts. Anyone can get involved by gathering clean and properly cut open plastic waste, such as plastic bags, wrappers, foam sheets, aluminum balloons, flex, and bubble wraps ad then ship your plastic donations to EcoKaari’s Pune location. They do not have collection centers or pick-up services, so donations must be sent via courier.
