FROM Silicon Valley to local alleys, Mani Vajipey and Raj Madangopal have come a long way in their bid to address the problem of plastic disposal in urban areas. The duo has come out with innovative ways to recycle, and use technology and sustainable business practices to bring local kabadiwallas (rag-pickers) on to the supply chain. Banyan Nation, the start-up founded by them, recently expanded its manufacturing facility located at Patancheru, a pollution prone area, about 35 km from Hyderabad.
