Reimagining Circularity: Every Resource Has a New Beginning and a Longer, Conscious Life
Join us in spiraling resources back to value, extending lifecycles and redefining sustainability.
About Us
Why
We believe in the untapped potential of resources and materials and want to challenge the conventional view of waste, transforming materials into endless value. It is the imperative path forward for our planet and livelihoods.
How
Founded by Nandan Mall from Hulladek Recycling, Ajay Mittal of EARTHDAY.ORG, and Nivvedita Jain of Living Pink Consultancy. We are creating a circular system through innovative collection programs, pioneering research, and community engagement.
What
We’re redefining the lifecycle of resources to find new purposes and contribute to a sustainable ecosystem. Join us as we spiral toward a future where waste is a relic of the past, and every resource is valued.
The Need for Spiral: A New Approach to Sustainability
In a world where resources are consumed faster than they can regenerate, the lifecycle of materials is often cut short. Landfills are filling up, valuable materials are wasted, and the pressure on natural ecosystems is growing. Traditional recycling is no longer enough.
Wasteful Linear Models
The traditional ‘take-make-dispose’ model is unsustainable, rapidly depleting resources without considering the long-term environmental costs.
Rapid Resource Depletion
Valuable resources are being discarded prematurely, missing the opportunity for reuse and unnecessarily straining our planet's finite reserves.
Environmental Impact
This wasteful approach puts immense pressure on ecosystems, exacerbating environmental challenges like pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change.
The Solution
The Spiral Initiative’s approach ensures that no resource is wasted. We extend the lifecycle of materials through innovative collection, recovery, and upcycling processes, providing sustainable, scalable solutions.
Circularity Lab
Innovating methods to turn “unusable” materials into resources while advancing research to deepen our understanding and extend the lifecycle of every material.
Material Collection & Repurposing:
Targeting diverse segments- clothes, e-waste, glass, and more to ensure nothing ends up in landfills.
Community Engagement & CSR:
Empowering communities and partnering with corporations to drive sustainable change.
Upcycling & Economic Impact
Turning waste into opportunity by creating high-value products that extend material lifecycles and create jobs.
