Pondicherry, also known as Puducherry, is a charming town on India's southeast coast, blending French and Tamil cultures due to its colonial history. With around 1.2 million tourists annually, it faces environmental issues, generating 400+ metric tonnes of daily waste, mainly disposed of in open landfills. This harms the coastal ecosystem and causes long-lasting damage from plastic waste. ZW is dedicated to aiding Pondicherry's eco-friendly waste management and sustainable tourism efforts.

Waste dumping disproportionately impacts marginalized communities and wildlife habitats. Waste burning releases dioxins and furans, some of the most toxic and carcinogenic chemicals known to scientists. Microplastics and nano-plastics have polluted our air, water, and land. Waste burning also releases black carbon, a significant source of pollutants, leading to the faster melting of the Himalayan glaciers and thereby reinforcing anthropogenic climate change.
