If we cannot sustain our environment, we cannot sustain ourselves. Reduce, Recycle, Recover is the new mantra. Did you know? out of 4.7 million tonnes of garbage which is generated daily at a global level, India contributes 1.4 million tonnes of waste in it. Ever wondered how one could turn waste management into entrepreneurship? <strong>Ashutosh Srivastava<\/strong> is one such entrepreneur who is trying to address this problem in an unique way. What if you could get a recharge for your phone, free pizza, or shop online by dumping a plastic bottle or a can into a vending machine? Yes, it is possible. Ashutosh along with his team of innovators from Delhi are making it possible through their initiative called &#8216;<strong>WeConvert&#8217;<\/strong>. It is a concept where you can insert a plastic bottle\/aluminium cans or glass scraps into technologically smart e-collectors and get cool rewards ranging from a free burger to online shopping vouchers. This concept will also give you a satisfaction of doing your bit for the environment.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"358606\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/ahshutosh-srivastava-co-founder-weconvert-ss-interview\/untitled-design-4-32\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03150219\/Untitled-design-4-32.jpg?fit=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Untitled-design-4-32\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03150219\/Untitled-design-4-32.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03150219\/Untitled-design-4-32.jpg?fit=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-358606\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03150219\/Untitled-design-4-32.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03150219\/Untitled-design-4-32.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03150219\/Untitled-design-4-32.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03150219\/Untitled-design-4-32.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03150219\/Untitled-design-4-32.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;ssl=1 470w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03150219\/Untitled-design-4-32.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;ssl=1 130w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03150219\/Untitled-design-4-32.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;ssl=1 187w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>In conversation with Ashutosh Srivastava :<\/h3>\n<h3>1) Tell us about yourself and your background ?<\/h3>\n<p>I am <strong>Ashutosh Srivastava,<\/strong> working with a waste management tech based start-up called &#8216;<strong>WeConvert&#8217;<\/strong>.
