Programs

Saahas actively works on solid waste management, incorporating the principles of a circular economy. The vision is to enable India to become a leading circular economy where nothing is waste. Its mission involves piloting innovative resource management programs, collaborating with various stakeholders, and evolving best practices for adopting the circular economy. Saahas is committed to building zero-waste communities by finding and implementing solutions to manage municipal solid waste.

Major Interventions:

Decentralized Biogas and Composting Setups: The NGO believes in managing waste close to its source to keep the quantity manageable. Decentralized systems reduce infrastructure and operational costs and transform the relationship with waste. Saahas operates material recovery facilities and has expanded biogas plant capacities. It also introduces small biogas units in villages to process food waste and generate biogas for cooking.

Circularity of Special Waste Streams: Saahas addresses the challenges of improper disposal of specific waste, such as construction and demolition waste and e-waste. It focuses on raising awareness, providing responsible disposal options, and facilitating recycling. It also partners to advance sustainable construction by repurposing materials.

Waste Reduction: Saahas promotes waste reduction through reuse and repair initiatives. The "Change Matters" project focuses on repair campaigns and engaging communities to extend the life of bulky waste. It also establishes cutlery banks to reduce single-use plastics and promotes sustainable menstruation products. It conducts sessions to educate on the circular economy and encourages home composting.
