Smartglasses that are affordable, DIY and made from post-consumer recycled plastic - not possible right? Well, genius ᯅ Paul reached out to me on Linkedin a couple of months ago asking if we were interested in working on this and voila, see below! We at Without™ (by Ashaya) are working with him and Seeed Studio to pilot some open-sourced smart, eyewear tech. It's an ambitious project, and we are still in the early stages, but the idea is to make smart eyewear more affordable and functional, not just glitzy. Please reach out if you're keen to learn more!

Proud to have been part of the Animal Welfare Club Pune's event, where we showcased our recycled products to raise funds for animals in need. It was inspiring to see so many people come together to support sustainable products and a meaningful cause! 🐾💚 Thank you to everyone who contributed—every purchase makes a difference. Here’s to more eco-friendly initiatives for a better planet and a brighter future for our furry friends! #SustainableImpact #WITHOUT #EcoFriendlyInitiatives #AnimalWelfare

Demoed the world's first shampoo bottle made from shampoo sachets (and similar MLP waste) at GITEX Impact today in Dubai. Well, it's probably the first? Not sure, but I'm sure that it's 90% recycled (which is hard, especially from post-consumer MLP). And shared a lot more things in the pipeline - a slew of new products and components we are launching and how our polycotton recycling tech is shaping up. More updates from us at Without™ (by Ashaya) on all that soon!
