A women's collective gets a boost with a paper-bag making machine

 

A significant milestone was achieved at the Naya Paper Recycling Women's Collective with the arrival of a large piece of equipment that will dramatically enhance the production and sale of paper bags. In Maharashtra, where plastic bags are banned, shops and businesses are actively seeking eco-friendly alternatives. The new semi-automatic machine, purchased second-hand using profits from the collective’s earnings, is expected to boost productivity and create more job opportunities for women. With the capacity to produce over 1,500 bags per hour, orders are already pouring in! We hope to soon share updates on the collective’s expansion. This project is a win-win for both families' livelihoods and the environment, supporting sustainable practices and economic growth.
