"We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children." This age-old adage is the driving force behind Rahul Singh's party waste-management initiative. By offering waste bags and cutlery made from corn starch, palm leaves and sugarcane, he is motivating households and event organisers to celebrate in a conscious manner.

To give you a little context: An average Indian household generates 11 kg of plastic waste every year, which amounts to around 9.4 million tons of plastic waste every year. Given the excessive trash generated during social gatherings, one often turns unmindful of their plastic footprint. To turn this carnage into an opportunity - Singh has devised a paradigm shift in how we party. Here are environment-friendly alternatives to plastic and non-biodegradable materials for households to reduce their plastic waste.
