PadCare has built a proprietary technology to safely collect and recycle used sanitary pads. The startup claims to have secured an Indian patent for its recycling process. Operating in a service model, PadCare bins are deployed at the client locations and it connects those dots to the reverse logistics system and brings them back to a centralised recycling factory.

Glavel recycles glass into a building material - foamed fiberglass filler, that allows construction industry to more cost-effectively insulate underfloor slabs and significantly reduce the carbon emissions of building materials. Foamed fiberglass filler replaces polyurethane foam insulation, aggregate, and lightweight aggregates in a variety of applications, providing drainage, insulation, and compressive strength. It is easy to install and non-toxic, ensuring durability and stability for long-term use. According to the company, it contains no volatile organic compounds, microplastics or harmful additives. Recycling glass eliminates waste, creating a highly effective building material.

Solarcycle provides solar panel recycling services in the US. It partners with leading solar energy companies to recycle their solar systems and create a circular solar economy. The company transports, sorts and safely recycles many types of old solar panels, including silicon, cadmium-telluride and First Solar panels, converting them into valuable new materials for the next generation of solar panels. Solarcycle also offers recycling solutions for inverters, transformers, cables and other power electronics, recovering metals such as silver, copper, gold and lead with a 99% recovery rate. It also offers sampling services for the Toxicity Leaching Procedure (TCLP), which is necessary to determine whether solar panels meet the definition of hazardous waste.
