Anandi and her husband, with ancestry in Tamil Nadu, buy plastic waste from big companies, sort it out and sell to relevant recyclers. They earn about INR 30-35000 every month. They have used Arth’s loans to buy plastic waste all three times over a period of 3 years. Their children are married and also engage in the same occupation. While they live in a plastic tarpaulin house themselves, they have built pucca houses for their children.
