OUR CASE STUDY
HOW TO INTEGRATE IMPACTDeveloping pilot programmes to tackle post-consumption waste in India
In April 2016 the Indian government launched its draft guidelines for consumer goods companies to tackle the issue of post-consumption waste.
In June 2016 Gone Adventurin’ led the senior leadership of a multinational consumer goods company on a 4-day IMPACT ADVENTURE to understand the on-ground realities of this critical business issue in India.
They met with dozens of people across the waste value chain - from local waste pickers to recycling businesses, inspiring startups and social enterprises, and got a thorough understanding of the waste landscape and the post-consumption waste journey of their products.
