Projects Under Enactus -Jai Hind College
PROJECT GREEN TEE

Project Green Tee, is a quest born from the fraught uncertainties bestowed by the pandemic, to impart opportunities for alternative employment, financial independence, and personal empowerment, to women trudging in fragile hope through the landscape of some parts of Mumbai’s.

This initiative served two purpose - humanity and sustainability . It featured the participation of this marginalized community to recycle single-use plastic bottles into hand-sewn, stylish recycled t-shirt garments fit for everyday use.


HOW PROJECT GREEN TEE WORKS

We tackled a mass scale outreach effort to obtain plastic bottles from personal sources to external ones the likes of popular hotel chains. These bottles were then further segregated according to color, with their caps and labels removed, and shredded into small colorful chips. Following a warm rinse and trip to the ovens, the flakes were melted into tiny pellets, undergoing stringent filtration and contamination removal. The filaments are combined and winded into stronger threads to create weighted spools of yarn. The yarn is subsequently stretched, carded, and roved before it is spun into fabric and is sent to our beneficiaries workplace and then the fabric is sewn into our Green - Tees by our beneficiaries . And this is how 7 PET bottles can be transformed into 1 - uber comfortable, stylish t - shirt. Our team of over 120 volunteers were trained to promote sales within their networks.We reached out to fashion influencers and thrift stores for brand visibility.GreenTee has also garnered a substantial instagram presence of 800+ followers upon its launch.We have impacted an audience of 900+ people through seminars and upskilling workshops on sustainable practices, designed to draw attention to our project.

Achievements

  • 10,000+ Plastic bottles recycled
  • 1100+ T-shirts Manufactured
  • Helped beneficiaries raise Rs.185,000 from sales.

TECH SHIKSHA

Project Tech Shiksha, launched in December of 2020, was inclined towards slightly different goals. The project served to impart holistic learning to the under-privileged and poverty-ridden youth, whose education had come to a still-stop due to Coronavirus concerns. A significantly huge band of volunteers, with a count spanning in increasing double digits, eagerly volunteered to carry the initiative forward, through customised curriculums conducted over several online classes. In this vein, two distinct sessions on the terrors of plastic waste, as well as the necessity of sustainability, were conducted with the kids involved in the project.
