Takachar: Indian Portable Technology Turning Farm Waste Into Biochar and Valuable Carbon Products

Indian climate-technology company Takachar is addressing this problem through portable thermochemical equipment designed to process biomass close to where it is generated. Instead of transporting large volumes of low-value agricultural waste to a distant centralised plant, Takachar takes the processing system directly to farms, forestry operations and other locations where waste biomass is available.

PadCare Labs Turns Used Sanitary Pads Into Cellulose and Plastic Through Indian Recycling Technology

Pune-based PadCare Labs is attempting to change that model by treating used sanitary pads as a source of recoverable materials rather than as waste that must simply be destroyed. Founded in 2018 by mechanical engineer and sanitation entrepreneur Ajinkya Dhariya, the company has developed an integrated system covering disposal, collection, transport, disinfection, processing and material recovery. Its central technology separates used sanitary products into reusable cellulose and plastic that can return to productive applications.
