What is the toughest thing to recycle? MLP or Multi-layered plastic. Who is recycling it today in India -  no one that we knew of. It is largely getting burnt for energy recovery - producing harmful fumes and what not. Only may be 2-3% of the entire volume is potentially going for pyrolysis.

Anish Malpani and his team at Ashaya are recycling what no one recycles - Multi layered plastic (those tetra pack milk bottles and chips packets). And to demonstrate use case of the recycled plastic, they made the coolest products - sunglasses - that don't break.

Today the Sustainably Yours team members, Tania and Kinshuk, meet Anish to understand all about Ashaya - and what he is trying to achieve. It is a very interesting story - told in an extremely engaging manner. Don't miss it. 

The world population will reach 10 bn by 2050. A growing concern is, how to meet the protein requirements of this expanding population. Even today, the world has 1 billion cattle, 25 billion chicken, almost 1 billion pigs and numerous fish and shrimp farms. We need to feed these animals to eventually feed us. 
Kinshuk and Tania from the Sustainably Yours team meet Ankit Alok Bagaria, who is addressing this growing need for animal food with his start up Loopworm.   Loopworm is an agri-biotechnology company that takes inspiration from nature to convert organic wastes into valuable products. 

What will you learn from this episode -
Why are insects a great source of protein? 
Is protein derived from insect really that efficient? 
What goes into animal feed and how is loopworm adding value there? 
What is the greenhouse impact of this process? 
How does Ankit see the future global protein requirement being met? 

Let's dive in!
