A collective that Facilitates, Activates and Enables discussions for Circular Economy in India.
Case Studies
Circular Economy not only emphasizes on Reduce, Reuse and Recycle but also gives high priority for the elements of Re-imagine and Re-design to maximize the resource efficiencies by reconsidering the processes and the designing-out the wastages.
Frugal Innovation refers to formulating faster, better and sustainable solutions for more people utilizing minimal resources. Frugal Innovation ensures that the frugally designed products have their main functionalities kept intact but all over-engineered features are removed from them which otherwise makes it expensive.
In this series, we document case studies which look into cases in India where frugal innovation could accelerate the transition to Circular Economy.
