How Minus Degre turns plastic waste into eco-friendly materials; 5 organisations taking healthcare to rural India

Minus Degre is a Ghaziabad-based company that collects and processes plastic waste, converting it into an eco-friendly material called Eco-Panel. This material is then used to manufacture products for businesses and consumers, such as furniture, interiors, and everyday utility products. The company has recycled over 300 tonnes of plastic waste and has worked with more than 200 B2B clients, many of whom are from the retail sector.

Clients include Adidas and Steve Madden, as well as over 3,000 B2C customers. Rahul Vashukhi, co-founder of Minus Degre, notes that many businesses are seeking alternatives to marble or quartz, and the company is attempting to fill this gap by providing an indigenous, eco-friendly material.
