In a world overwhelmed by plastic waste, electronic scrap, and single-use packaging, recycling is no longer just an environmental choice — it’s a necessity. At Minus Degre, we believe that recycling is the cornerstone of the circular economy, where waste is not the end, but the beginning of something new.
As pioneers in plastic recycling innovations, our mission is to turn trash into treasure — transforming plastic waste into second-life materials that are beautiful, durable, and 100% recyclable. But to understand why recycling is vital, we must first understand the bigger picture.
Embracing the Circular Economy
The circular economy is a regenerative system that breaks away from the traditional take-make-dispose model. Instead, it focuses on circular business models that keep materials in use for as long as possible, extracting the maximum value before recovery and regeneration.
Minus Degre has built its entire manufacturing ethos on this model, proving that design, sustainability, and responsibility can coexist.
Reducing Waste Through Innovation
India generates more than 3.5 million tonnes of plastic waste annually. Globally, electronic waste (or e-waste) is growing faster than any other waste stream. Without bold action, this crisis will spiral out of control.
Our response? Circular solutions rooted in plastic recycling innovations and e-waste recycling. From recycled plastic panels to sustainable furniture, we create products that actively contribute to waste reduction and environmental healing.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR): Holding Brands Accountable
Recycling is not just a consumer responsibility. The future depends on businesses embracing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) — taking ownership of the entire lifecycle of their products, including post-consumer waste.
At Minus Degre, we collaborate with brands across India and beyond, helping them meet EPR goals through the use of recycled materials and sustainable alternatives.
Designing with Sustainable Packaging and Materials
Our commitment doesn’t stop at panels. We also focus on sustainable packaging and product design that reduces dependency on virgin plastic. Whether it’s eco-gifting, recycled trophies, or retail solutions, every product we create has circularity built into its DNA.
Zero Waste Initiatives in Action
Through collaborations with schools, corporates, events, and architects, Minus Degre supports zero waste initiatives that go beyond just recycling — they aim for total resource optimization.
By rethinking waste as a resource, we’re contributing to a culture that values sustainability over convenience.
Second-Life Materials: Giving Plastic a Purpose
Our products are made from 100% recycled plastic and designed to be 100% recyclable — truly second-life materials. These materials are not only functional but also aesthetic, making them ideal for modern architecture, interior design, and corporate gifting.
Each sheet, tile, and panel we make reduces the environmental burden and inspires new thinking about material value.
