Tata Power turns 5,000 kg plastic waste into green livelihood for women

Tata Power’s Anokha Dhaaga Smart Circularity programme has converted over 5,000 kilograms of single-use plastic waste into recycled fabric products like T-shirts, tote bags, and haversacks, generating over Rs 20 lakh in fair-trade earnings for women entrepreneurs. The initiative is active across six centres and aligns with the World Environment Day 2025 theme — End Plastic Pollution. 

The project began with a collection drive across Tata Power’s Trombay plant, housing colonies, and offices. In collaboration with ReCircle and sanitation workers ('Safai Saathis'), the waste was processed into RPET fabric. Women trained under Anokha Dhaaga crafted and fulfilled large institutional orders, transforming waste into marketable products. 

The programme also upcycled donated denim and is part of the larger #SustainableIsAttainable campaign under Tata Group’s Project Aalingana. It demonstrates circularity and community empowerment in action, supporting both environmental goals and inclusive growth. 

To date, Anokha Dhaaga has empowered over 30,000 women across nine states, promoting eco-friendly, handmade products. Tata Power continues to scale such initiatives, setting replicable models for sustainable innovation and green livelihoods.
