With its Anokha Dhaaga-Smart Circularity program, Tata Power converted over 5,000 kilograms of disposable plastic waste into recycled fabric products and at the same time achieved a sustainable income for entrepreneurs. Under the direction of women in six centers, the initiative led to more than 20 LAKH in terms of fair trade revenue and reinforced both environmental and social progress.
This initiative, part of the Aalingana project of the Tata Group, which has gotten “plastic pollution” with the call to the World Environment Day 2025, is based on the principles of the circular economy. It includes the upcycling of used denim and plastic waste to create a number of environmentally friendly products. By combining waste reductions with the establishment of skills and income generation, the program shows how local communities can take the leadership in climate work.
Plastic waste was collected from Tata Power's Posombay work, residential buildings and various Tata offices in Mumbai. In cooperation with Recircle, a social enterprise for waste management and its network of Safaisaathis, the plastic was transformed into RPET (recycled polyethylene -Ththalat). Women who were trained under Anokhadhaaga then transformed the fabric into T-shirts, bags and accessories, many of which were delivered by large institutional orders.
The program has also converted the pre -used denim and expands the life cycle of clothing that would otherwise end up on landfill. This fusion of textile reuse and plastic recycling has created scalable business models for green production and has been able to use basic innovations in the heart of the sustainability vision of Tata Power.
As part of its broader engagement for responsible growth, the Anokha Dhaaga program from Tata Power now supports more than 30,000 women in nine states. The initiative from Mulshi, Maharashtra, has developed into a nationwide platform that offers opportunities for training, market access and entrepreneurship in the environmentally conscious product creation-from stationary and secret decor to snacks in hirse base.
This approach is a key component of the greater movement of Tata Power under the banner #SustainaLisattainableWhat aims to make clean energy and more air -conditioning life more accessible. By linking environmental responsibility with the strengthening of the community, Tata Power, including paths, creates a recently low carbon -low future. The company's strategy combines action, capacity structure and circular innovation on site to achieve measurable effects. So that a replicable model for companies that want to integrate sustainability into social transformation.
