WHO WE ARE?
ACT PAPER WINGS is a fair trade organization promoting and marketing eco-friendly upcycled handmade products designed and developed by rural artisans, crafters, and women’s self-help groups all over India. This organization is a vital arm of ACTION CENTER FOR TRANSFORMATION (ACT), a nonprofit social development organization based in the Gurgaon district of Haryana.
ACTION CENTER FOR TRANSFORMATION aims to empower rural women socially and economically by building an environment and facilitating change through capacity building and innovative approaches. At the same time, the organization believes in creating and supporting a green and clean environment.
ACT was established in 2010, but the journey of ACT PAPER WINGS began in the year 2012, and we have been able to create rural women’s livelihoods through upcycling waste, mainly old newspapers, and other papers since then.
THE INITIATION
Nilanjana Das is the initiator and the driving force behind this green social enterprise. When the passion and desire of an aspiring social entrepreneur unite with the dire needs of a few rural women to attain financial and social security, an organization, a movement – ACT is born.
ACT (Action Center For Transformation) justifies its name by strongly believing in an action-oriented approach and transforming women’s lives. ACT advocates women‘s empowerment as a sustainable solution. ACT’s endeavor is to make women financially independent and, in that process, develop their innate strength to take decisions and responsibilities, providing them with the right motivation and right atmosphere all along the way.
Starting from one dark corner with two women and reaching out to more than three hundred women providing skill development training and supporting them to generate an income sustainably. The efforts are ongoing to identify, train, promote, and develop a chain of rural women up cyclers across the zone which helps to generate an income and create a ripple effect bringing changes in their lives.
The innovative outcome of the ACT PAPER WINGS- a brand of eco-friendly handicrafts made with love and conviction is a personification of creativity that our women force is showcasing to the world. They have met the challenges of beautifying waste paper into hundred forms of utility. ACT, along with the team of strong rural women, sends a message of recycling paper and reducing the carbon footprint, hence conserving the environment and developing an eco-conscious society.
WHAT DO WE DO?
Newspaper collection campaigns and drives are held across the city to collect old newspapers. The old newspaper trash is the raw material for rural women. The creative women turn the trash into a resource and give the old newspapers a new life as an alternative eco-friendly product line that suits in the present lifestyle and develops an environmental consciousness. Every waste paper is turned into a beautiful product. Nothing is wasted.
WHY DO WE DO THIS?
- To manage waste through the technique of Upcycling.
- To create rural women’s livelihood opportunities.
- To create an environmental consciousness among the consumers and society as a whole.
- To create a green environment by reducing carbon footprints.
WHERE DOES THE WASTE TRANSFORM?
The waste newspapers travel from corporate offices, apartments, schools, and shops to the upcycling centers in Bandhwari, Bhondsi, Gwalpahari, and Islamabad (PALWAL). The rural women sit in the commonplace or at individual homes and transform the trash paper into beautiful utility products.
We have an ACT Experiential center with an upcycled paper office and a training center near Bhondsi on the Gurgaon–Sohna Road.
