Insider.in, Mumbai

We’re so thrilled to have implemented waste management at the Mumbai office of Insider.in, a curated lifestyle platform that gives people access to a handpicked selection of events and experiences. You know the office takes its sustainability efforts seriously when their townhall questions include “When are we going zero waste?”.

An office of more than 50 people, they discard less than 1.2 kgs of waste daily. Folks at the office segregate their waste into 3 separate bins for Food waste, Recyclable waste and Landfill waste. This allows the office to manage this waste effectively. The office has an in-house composter to manage it’s biodegradable waste (like fruit peels, food scraps, coffee grounds and tea leaves). The office sends its recyclable waste to an NGO for turning these into new products.

The office uses only reusable plates and cutleries (including handmade, lead-free, ceramic plates and mugs 💚). Paper cups have exited the scene and everyone at the office uses reusable water bottles and ceramic mugs.

They have also significantly reduced their water consumption by using waterless urinals and water-saving taps; this saves thousands of litres of water each month 💧🌏

MiQ, Bengalore

“What is going on with your office trash?  I don’t see much of your trash bags these days.”, the building supervisor was puzzled by the disappearing act that the garbage at the MiQ office was doing.

MiQ is a a global analytics technology company. With over 230 employees, their office has successfully reduced the amount of trash they discard to less than 7kgs each day.  We implemented a comprehensive waste management project at their Bangalore office. And today, the office segregates their waste, composts their biodegradable waste in-house, and sends recyclable waste to local recycling centres ♻️. They’ve also implemented various measures to reduce their waste generation, such as eliminating paper cups, using only reusable serving wares in the cafeteria, and doing away with plastic stirrers. The office also has a food donation program in place, where all excess food is shared with folks who can use an extra meal 🤝.

The office management and employees deeply invested in making their office more sustainable, and has worked closely with us on achieving this. The housekeeping team is fully trained and now runs this independently.
