plastic waste reduction

At 27, Nishtha Chauhan left engineering to launch a zero-waste café in Gujarat that now earns Rs 12 lakh a month. But it’s more than a business — through millet meals and workshops, she’s teaching over 2,000 children to eat mindfully and helping reduce 47 tonnes of plastic and carbon waste yearly.

India’s food delivery boom has come at an environmental cost — plastic containers that rarely get recycled. Now, Zomato is helping over 200 restaurants across 400 cities cut down on plastic, one meal at a time.
