Kolkata: Kolkata Society for Cultural Heritage (KSCH) organised Zero Waste Mart at CIL Atrium from 19 to 21 July, 2021 in collaboration with Coal India Limited.
Upcycled Products made with solid waste items by the underprivileged women from 69 different Self Help Groups of Bengal were being showcased there.
Kolkata Society for Cultural Heritage also organised a live demonstration session on the second day. Zero Waste Mart created a bridge between buyers and manufacturers.
These interactive sessions are helping to understand about the concept, process and the final outcome of the product.
