OneEarth empowers purposeful businesses by aligning their sustainable goals with their larger business objectives through collaboration with CXOs and CSR leads. We scale down plastic impact through initiatives like the Drive Against Plastic Pollution funded by Quest2Travel by MakeMyTrip, adopting a beach for innovative waste management and implementing 16-way segregation at the source for Bulk Waste Generators (BWGs) etc.

OneEarth inspires conscious individuals through regular cleanup drives at beaches, mangroves, creeks, rivers, and garbage vulnerable points (GVPs) and conduct and IEC awareness workshops to instill a sustainable shift in the behaviour.. We engage conscious volunteers in impactful initiatives and foster a community called One For Earth (OFE), where each participant becomes a member of OFE. Our efforts have sensitised 3000 individuals, highlighting that change occurs through collaborative actions.

OneEarth mentors student innovators by collaborating with schools, colleges, universities, and special needs institutions/NGOs to create programmatic learning experiences. Our workshops blend classroom and experiential learning, covering topics like circular waste management, the 5Rs framework, mangrove restoration, and the impact of plastic on nature. We prioritize government schools for these programs, aiming to reach areas with limited exposure, but work with private schools as well. Additionally, we offer internships to UG and PG students from diverse science and engineering backgrounds across India, with plans to expand exchange programs with global universities.

We collaborate with various communities such as informal waste workers, women in waste, Self-Help Groups (SHGs), fishing communities, and communities around mangroves, uplifting them for sustainable livelihoods. We create environmentally, socially, and economically viable solutions. For example, with fishing communities, we’re developing local solutions to tackle plastic pollution and ALDFG (Abandoned, Lost, Discarded Fishing Nets and Gears) and Ghost Nets, focusing on innovative and sustainable waste management practices. Our approach includes raising awareness about the environmental, social, and economic impacts of abandoned fishing gear. We also work on formalising informal safai sathis to integrate them into the existing waste management system. We help in providing regular training to safai sathis to empower them to run facilities independently.
