Ep.13 | Material Library of India with Shubhi Sachan

Material Library of India (MLI) spearheads consultation and awareness initiatives. As a dynamic research and design consultancy, MLI is committed to unlocking the potential of industrial and agricultural waste. With an impressive track record spanning nearly a decade, MLI has cultivated specialized expertise in crafting innovative, data-backed solutions that redefine the utilization of these waste materials. I met Shubhi a few years ago when I was running Fairtrunk, and her dedication to viewing waste as a valuable resource has continued to inspire me ever since. Over the years, we've turned out to be friends who often catch up to share/vent out our eco-anxiety. Though we recorded this episode last year, for whatever reasons, it never made it to the podcast. Today happens to be Shubhi's birthday and I'm presenting this conversation as a gift to Ethically Yours' audience. I hope you feel equally inspired by her work [Though we recorded this episode last year,].
