Pune is a hub for start-ups and also follows the vision of #GoLocal. People nowadays are very fond of sustainable and eco-friendly products. Remember those school projects - 'best out of waste'? We as individuals also recycle clothes. For example, we make bags from jeans or lehenga out of an old saree. It's good to recycle things and create something beautiful and usable. Here are a few brands that I came across which focus on making sustainable products.
EcoKaari is a brand that upcycles single-use plastic waste into beautiful handbags, wallets, home decor, etc using Charkha and Handloom. There is a relationship between Artisans and the Environment, as 'Eco' means eco-friendly and Kaari means 'Kaarigar'. It also focuses on women's empowerment as well as better living for all human beings. You must take a look, and it is best for gifting purposes. These handcrafted products using waste plastic turn out to be colourful with a variety of designs.
