Ep 64 Green Talks - A Path to Sustainability at 5RCYCLE - Featuring Dr. Smita Birkar

In today’s episode of Green Tatwa Talks, I had the privilege of diving into the inspiring journey of 5RCYCLE Foundation. Founded by the visionary Dr. Smita Birkar, 5RCYCLE has been at the forefront of promoting zero-waste practices and transforming waste management in Mumbai. We explored how the foundation has championed the 5R philosophy—Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, and Recycle—to create impactful solutions for reducing landfill waste and fostering a circular economy. From diverting over 250 metric tons of waste from landfills to innovative initiatives like mangrove cleanups, recycling education for kids, and creative repurposing projects, 5RCYCLE is a shining example of how dedicated efforts can inspire sustainable change. It was truly enlightening to learn about their mission and how we can all contribute to a greener planet!
