Hello Friends!

Greetings to you all from Eindhoven , Netherlands!

Thanks to Women on Wings Team for giving reCharkha EcoSocial an opportunity to be part of this noble community!

I am Ashwini, Business Development Manager, from reCharkha -The EcoSocial Tribe - an India based social enterprise working to conserve the Environment and Enable Tribal and Rural livelihoods. I live in Eindhoven, Netherlands and support reCharkha EcoSocial activities in India remotely as well as take care of Exhibitions in the Netherlands and online orders within all over Europe.

Here is a brief about our EcoSocial work:
We UPCYCLE waste plastic such a polybags/plastic bags, biscuit or wafer wrappers and other multilayered packaging, using a traditional CHARKHA (Spindle) and HANDLOOM to weave it into a fabric. This unique process is designed to provide LIVELIHOOD opportunities to our TRIBAL WOMEN and YOUTH.
We have our process explained in following videos:
(in Dutch Language)
(In English Language)

This UPCYCLED-HANDWOVEN fabric is then used to make handcrafted utility items such as bags and fashion accessories, home decor and office stationary products. Some of these products are presented in our online shop: https://www.recharkha.org/collections/all.
We retail these products at our office in Pune(India) and directly sell through exhibitions in India and Netherlands. Apart from these products, we customize products for BULK corporate orders for our customers.

More later...
regards,
Ashwini
