About Us
KabaadX.com (Start-up India Recognized) is a product of Asar Green Kabadi Pvt. Ltd. A technology-driven company working on SaaS (Software as a Service) based model to organize the waste management sector.
Founders Message
“Waste is never a waste, it's rather an opportunity to something new”
Mr. Anurag Asati, who co-founded KabaadX with Kavindra Raghuwanshi in 2014 always wanted to do something out of the box but he had never anticipated something as bizarre as “waste” would drive him to bring the solution until he detected the biggest loopholes associated with waste management sector by then. The unorganized sector made it a task for him to sell his own household scrap, it is then that he decided to infuse technology into the sector making it easy for thousands of consumers to sell scrap online.
But, this wasn't enough to mark a significant impact on households. KabaadX gradually started catering to small to big businesses, corporates to institutions with their Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), assisted the state government in managing the city's huge dumps at the material recovery facility (MRF Centers) through involving waste workers from the informal sector, helping them earn the wage they deserve. Today, KabaadX has become a one-stop solution to every waste chaos.
Our Core Values
Mission
Our mission is to make a world where nothing is wasted, the communities from around the globe building an eco-system of sustainable living through doing the right waste treatment that is to get it recycled.
Goal
Through continuous innovation of technology, our goal is to make recycling achievable and accessible to all, from institutions to individuals.
Our Belief
We believe that India can be a greener and cleaner country, as every household commits to getting their dry scrap recycled, not only resources can be saved from over-exploitation, but the landfills with mixed harmful garbage can be eradicated.
Minimizing landfills
- Landfills are spreading across India at a fast pace making it more complex each day to manage the waste management value chain.
- But, this can be tackled only when we start waste management from our homes in the way of waste segregation — differentiating dry and wet waste and disposing of it into two different bins.
- We get the dry segregated waste recycled as you sell your scrap to us. If we inculcate the habits of “avoiding tossing trash anywhere” and “adopting daily waste segregation”, we're coming one step ahead in reducing landfills.
Maximizing Recycling
- Along with serving households, KabaadX is a recycling partner to small to big businesses and corporates to institutions with the aim to build a conscious ecosystem on a societal level.
- To accelerate recycling, KabaadX manages Bhopal city's huge garbage dumps at 4 Material Recovery Facilities commonly known as MRF centers, where every day more than 50 kgs of waste are segregated by our waste workers.
- Campaigns with big organizations like Tetra Pak India and Indian Sleep Products Federation (ISPF) on recycling of daily utility products help us maximize recycling extensively.
