Green Gossip podcast is hosted by Bhagyashree Bhansali, the Founder & CEO of The Disposal Company.
Bhagyashree — You grew up in Bombay. What were some of the things that seeped into your mind and built the foundations for your sustainability vision?
Kavita — I remember one incident which made me more conscious about sustainability. One day my mom and I went to buy groceries from a local vendor. She returned back all the plastic bags which we had earlier in our home to him and asked him to reuse them. This incident built the foundation of sustainability in me.
Bhagyashree — Why you thought of a sustainable Oral Care brand? How are you doing things?
Kavita — We use Sea Green Tea Leaf extracts or Aloe Vera extracts in our products which strengthen your gums and work as an antibacterial. Our products have innovative flavors like cucumber mint toothpaste or peach mint mouthwash. We also make plastic-free products.
Bhagyashree — What are the things that you as a brand are currently doing to offset your footprints?
Kavita — We have taken the plastic neutrality initiative for which we’ve partnered with The Disposal Company which has made us a 100 percent plastic-neutral brand. So whatever the amount of plastic is generated TDC recycles the same amount on our behalf.
Bhagyashree — What’s your message to the audience listening to us and also to your fellow brand founders?
Kavita — When you are starting off there are probably a lot of things that you want to do but all may not be feasible at that point because of multiple reasons. If you are true to your thought and if you truly believe in something there will be ways in which you can make an impact on the environment.
