Project Milestones

West Bengal

Community involvement in Darjeeling, Menstrual Health Campaigns, and urban projects in Kolkata.

Inspired the BDO of Bijanbari, Mr. Kaushik Banerjee, to launch three public competitions rewarding the highest BottleBrick contributors, integrating environmental action into local governance.

Repurposed BottleBricks to construct essential community assets including two public toilets, secure fencing for the BDO office compound, and eco-park boundaries—demonstrating functional scalability of waste-derived construction.

Facilitated the transition of 189 women from disposable sanitary pads to reusable menstrual cups, led by young advocate Supriya (“Cup Girl”) and SHG leader Anjana. This shift reduced non-biodegradable waste and improved long-term women’s health, creating a replicable green menstrual model.

  • Park Infrastructure Upgrade – Built a BottleBrick bench at Subhash Sarovar Park in partnership with the Inner Wheel Club of Kolkata New Gen.
  • Capacity Building – Provided hands-on training for Inner Wheel Club members to construct school furniture from waste:
    • Built 4 stools and 1 table using BottleBricks and reused plyboard.
  • Quality Control – Supplied pre-verified BottleBricks from GreenAmmo’s network to ensure structural strength and durability.
  • School Curriculum Integration – BottleBrick-making incorporated into Sandakphu Trek basecamp school curriculum:
    • Students receive internal marks for participation.
    • Ensures early adoption of waste segregation and recycling habits.
  • Women’s SHG Engagement – 20 Self-Help Group members:
    • Paid, target-based BottleBrick production.
    • Conduct regular segregated clean-ups in their communities.
  • Infrastructure Impact – 200 BottleBricks used to build a divider wall at Lippohoccha Homestay, demonstrating small-scale local application.
