Nothing is useless in this world. What can be a waste to you is someone's asset’ - The ‘Recycle man of India’ aka Dr Binish Desai, social entrepreneur & founder of Eco-Eclectic . I spoke to him back in February 2019 (Ep 106) and he is back again to talk about inventing a new type of brick made from recycled PPE material. He talks about creating a female empowerment centre for former sex workers. He then talks about building low cost homes using 3D technology, talks about trust issues after getting ripped off by a business partner. The pillars of success and what we can expect in 2021. And why you should start identifying waste as an asset.

In this conversation we also talk about:

Observe - fail - Learn - Solve framework.
Creating Eco Bins
The process of converting PPE into bricks..Brick 2.0!
Creating affordable housing in the USA, Philippines & india, & Africa
The Recycle man - the book
What did he learn about himself during the pandemic
