About Us

Vision

Decarbonizing the world’s most polluting industries to create a sustainable future where industrial activity no longer harms our planet.

Although we are laser focused on waste-management for now, our revolutionary induction technology has applications in other industries. Heavy industries like cement, plastics, chemicals and textiles need high-heat that only the burning of fossil fuels could provide. Until now. Our ultra-efficient heating systems can electrify these industries; who can in turn be powered by renewable energy.

Values

The climate and waste crisis are wicked problems. These problems have no single solution and require mass collaboration from Samaaj, Sarkaar, Bazaar (communities, government and the market) - we have designed both our devices and organisation to solve tomorrow’s challenges.

There is no silver bullet to the challenges ahead of us. We are one technological solution amongst many more brilliant and often simple ideas. From day one we have sought expertise from stalwarts of the waste industry, like Ecogram, Daily Dump, Central Pollution Control Board, Corporation of the City of Panjim, TERI, the GHG Counsel and so many others. They gave us the belief that our solution is worth building on and we committed to build together with the entire ecosystem
To us integrity means doing right by our planet and all of her human and non-human inhabitants, even when it hurts our financial bottom line. It means recommending other solutions when ours isn’t the right one. It means analysing the net carbon impact of any decision we make. Although our incinerator can handle most recyclable materials, we’ve installed mechanisms to prevent the incineration of waste which prevents extraction of virgin materials or that can be recycled easily. In short, to us, integrity means waking up every morning and questioning everything about our solution.
Wicked problems are wickedly complex and so are their solutions. We’re building the rocket ship as we fly it, ensuring that we can redesign any piece if it is no longer needed or desired.

SDGs Impacted

Good Health and Wellbeing
+

One million people die annually from illnesses and diseases linked to rubbish that is dumped or burnt near homes. Reject waste that is landfilled leaches into our soil and groundwater, contaminating our food and impacting our health . Neo-X devices enable safe and ecological ways of handling waste at source.

Quality Education
+

Menstruation affects girls’ attendance and participation in education, globally. Disposal arrangements for used sanitary pads are not adequate in most schools and have been proven to improve educational outcomes for girls.

Clean Water and Sanitation
+

The Neo X incinerator prevents groundwater contamination by eliminating leachate from waste, ensuring safer and cleaner water sources and agriculture to grow our food.

Industry Innovation & Infrastructure
+

The Neo X incinerator represents cutting-edge technology in waste management, providing decentralised, efficient, and eco-friendly waste disposal solutions. Our technology has the potential to electrify industrial heating in industries that have historically been reliant on fossil fuels

Decent Work & Economic Growth
+

Over 3 Million waste-pickers in India are living in extreme poverty, with a life expectancy of just 39 years old. Disposing of hazardous waste at source eliminates the need for waste-pickers to handle this waste. We also focus on providing waste-pickers with safe and dignified jobs operating and maintaining our devices.

Sustainable Cities & Communities
+

The Neo-X reduces urban air, water and soil pollution by incinerating waste on-site, helping cities become cleaner and more sustainable.

Climate Action
+

The Neo X drastically reduces emissions (over 600X cleaner emissions than industry standard incinerators) by achieving high incineration temperatures, contributing to significant reductions in carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. At source disposal also nullifies polluting handling and storage of this waste

Life Below Water
+

By preventing waste from reaching oceans, Neo X protects marine ecosystems from pollution and plastic waste.

Life on Land
+

Neo X ensures that waste does not end up in landfills or open fires, protecting terrestrial ecosystems and reducing soil contamination.
