In India, like the rest of the world, trash and plastic waste is a huge problem: 200,000 tons of it are produced every day and much of this ends up in landfill. How can we solve this problem, not just in India, but in countries all around the world?

Nivedha RM, a member of the UpLink community of innovators, has a solution. Join us for the premiere and screening of the short film, ‘Back to Zero: Sorting the World’s Waste Problem’, which tells the story of Nivedha and her pioneering trash-sorting company, Trashcon.

In the film, we learn more about Nivedha’s journey and how she went from studying chemical engineering in Bengaluru to the creation of Trashbot, the world’s first completely automated waste segregator. It’s an incredible story of persistence, tenacity, collaboration, and hope.

The session will include a Q&A with Nivedha, as well as the producer and director of the film HyoJin Park about the film, and the issue of plastic waste in India.

Co-founded by partners across the public and private sectors, the Global Plastic Action Partnership (GPAP) harnesses the convening power of the World Economic Forum to bring together governments, businesses and civil society to translate commitments into meaningful action – at both the global and national levels.
