WHAT IS CLIMATE READY FOR WOMEN?
Climate Ready for Women in Upcycling is a pre-accelerator program designed specifically for women entrepreneurs in upcycling business with a focus on business literacy and develop understanding of successful business models through training and mentorship. The program is designed to bridge the missing skills so that women entrepreneurs build confidence and gain adequate knowledge to thrive in the market and actively seek support available in the ecosystem.
WHAT IS UPCYCLING AND WHY UPCYCLING?
Upcycling is a process by which the end product is made of an equal or higher value than the composition materials. It is not easy to replace plastics that quickly, and many materials are not economically viable to recycle.
To give the waste material a longer life, increase material efficiency, and reduce energy usage we need to move from the established linearity in the plastics chain to circularity.
WHO CAN APPLY?
Women entrepreneurs in upcycling who are at or near MVP stage or pilot sales.
Registered/based in India
We encourage women entrepreneurs to apply whose upcycling business is from plastic waste sources.
