From your home to a certified recycler — here is the complete journey of every plastic bottle and old garment collected through our platform.
Students gather plastic waste (bottles, wrappers, sachets) and old garments (clothes, uniforms, bags) from their homes. No minimum quantity required — every item counts.
Students log each item on the We Are Circular platform — selecting the brand, quantity, weight (optional), and where it was purchased. A QR code or barcode scanner makes this instant.
A trained school volunteer physically inspects the submitted items, confirms the quantity and weight, and approves the submission. They generate a QR-coded label for each bag.
Once approved, the student instantly earns Eco Points and their Responsible Citizen Score (RCS) is updated. CO₂ savings and tree equivalents are calculated automatically.
Verified bags are collected from schools and dispatched to certified recyclers and upcyclers. Plastic is processed into recycled pellets; garments are sorted for donation or fibre recycling.
Top collectors earn real rewards — stickers, tote bags, certificates, and tree plantations. Schools compete on leaderboards. The best performers are celebrated at city-wide events.
Every role in the platform has a clear purpose and set of responsibilities.
Everything you need to know before getting started.
No! Even a single plastic bottle or one old t-shirt counts. Every submission earns Eco Points and contributes to your school's impact.
We accept all clean, dry plastic — PET bottles, HDPE containers, food wrappers, sachets, shampoo bottles, and more. Contaminated or wet plastic cannot be processed.
Points are based on the weight and category of the submission. Plastic earns 10 points per kg; garments earn 8 points per kg. Bonus points are awarded for milestones and streaks.
Plastic is sent to CPCB-registered recyclers who process it into recycled pellets. Garments are sorted — wearable items are donated to NGOs, and unusable textiles are recycled into new fibres.
Yes! You can bring items from home, from neighbours, or from community collection drives. The more you collect, the more impact you create.
You will receive a notification on the platform once your volunteer approves your submission. Your Eco Points will be credited immediately after approval.
