Mumbai, Oct 14 (NationPress) Bollywood actress Dia Mirza took to social media to celebrate a significant advancement in sustainable innovation.

In her post, the ‘Sanju’ actress highlighted how the startup is capable of converting up to five tons of unrecyclable plastic waste each month into high-quality circular materials, while simultaneously providing waste workers with improved wages, health benefits, and dignity—illustrating a vision of inclusive innovation. Dia stresses that this initiative transcends mere technological advancement; it embodies inclusive innovation. The facility not only addresses the issue of plastic waste but also enhances the livelihoods of those engaged in the recycling process by offering salaries that are 2–3 times higher.

Sharing several photos of her involvement, the ‘Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein’ actress expressed, “A milestone for both people and the planet! I am thrilled to support Without®, an impact-first deep-tech material science enterprise, as they inaugurate their groundbreaking FOAK Demonstration Plant in Pune, which has the capability to transform up to 5 tons/month of 'unrecyclable' plastic into high-quality, circular materials. This is not merely innovation; it is inclusive innovation. This cutting-edge recycling technology offers waste workers 2–3 times the salary, health insurance, paid leave, and, most importantly, dignity and respect. At its core lies systemic thinking and a vision of India leading the globe in circular solutions.

“The launch follows a $1.9 million Seed Funding round, backed by genuinely patient impact capital. I am proud to embark on this journey as a strategic advisor, investor, and advocate alongside partners who recognize that science, justice, and sustainability can—and must—coexist harmoniously.”

“This serves as a powerful reminder that true circularity encompasses people, not just materials. Let us strive to scale this vision across India and beyond. When innovation converges with inclusion, hope materializes into action,” she added.

As a passionate environmental advocate, Dia Mirza frequently shares updates to enhance awareness regarding conservation and sustainability.

Professionally, Dia was recently featured in the Netflix film “Nadaaniyan,” directed by Shauna Gautam.
