Details of project

Since January 2020, Slim Homes & Garbage Free India, have been engaging with Residents of Condominiums & Societies across Gurugram, including South City 1, The Retreat and more recently, The Palms, to segregate their plastic waste which is then routed to KK Plastics in Begumpur Khatola, where it used for road construction.
