Punosristi's Mission: Smart Plastic Recycling for a Greener Bangladesh

Punosristi is on a mission to transform Bangladesh's plastic waste crisis into a sustainable, rewarding ecosystem through smart technology and community action.

"পুনঃসৃষ্টি means Re-Creation."

Our Origin

From Campus Corridors to Clean Tech.

It started with a simple observation on the grounds of Independent University, Bangladesh. Every day, countless plastic bottles were discarded, destined for overflowing landfills or to choke our vital waterways.

We realized that plastic isn't just waste; it's a misplaced resource. The missing link was motivation. We needed a system that didn't just ask people to recycle, but rewarded them for doing the right thing.

That realization sparked the creation of Punosristi. We set out to design smart Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs) tailored for the Bangladeshi context—accessible, reliable, and deeply integrated into the daily lives of students and citizens.
