Who we do?
‘Resolve Trash-2-Cash’, was inspired by the commitment to the environment and an aspiration to develop green business by leveraging circular economic interventions and sustainable lifestyle. It integrates solid waste as raw resource inputs, from collecting and repurposing waste paper, discarded textiles, plastics, and packaging materials, including food and organic wastes, etc. For over a decade now, the enterprise has been functioning on recycling, recovery, and reuse of municipal solid waste. The broader mission is emission reduction by minimizing the consumption of virgin materials and encouraging green lifestyle choices. It’s been almost a journey of 12 years now for ResolveT2C, evolving into a women-led micro-enterprise in the ‘Art of Recycling’.

Sustainable Packaging Solutions and Services.
Sustainable packaging is one important segment, as single-use plastic will be restricted in developed countries. Growing consumer concern over the preservation of the environment is driving demand for more sustainable packaging. The ease with recyclable packaging materials is growing important with brand owners, producers, and even the government. There is mounting pressure, now being backed by legislation like the European Union to limit the use of plastics in packaging. Alternatives are paper and cardboard from organic fibers.
Currently, in the mainstream business arena, as a start-up enterprise ResolveT2C in coming years, to complete its infrastructural and operational set-up targets is seeking grant and loan support. The growing potential of the enterprise can create job opportunities for 2000 more marginal women and youth with skill training and capacity building.
