About GREEN AADHAAR

Building the intelligence infrastructure for the waste resource and recovery ecosystem. We provide Operational intelligence combined with compliance and environmental intelligence to help you manage waste operations more efficiently, transparently, and at scale.

Built by Engineers, Shaped on Ground

Our journey began with chemical engineering and applied research, including research exposure at IIT Madras. Chemical recycling was our starting point, not our destination. Over the past 3 years, we've learned by directly engaging across the waste ecosystem—from PPP municipal systems and private waste agencies to processing and recycling plants.

What We Build

An intelligent platform for waste and recovery operations. Operational intelligence across collection, transport, processing, and recovery. Plant-level process inventory and material flow visibility. Compliance and environmental intelligence embedded into daily operations. Context-aware workflows tailored for cities, agencies, and facilities. This is not reporting software—this is infrastructure.

Why It Works

We understand waste as a physical, chemical, and operational system—not just data. That's why our technology reflects how waste systems actually function on the ground, delivering real-world solutions that scale.

Our Journey

The word “AADHAAR” comes from Sanskrit, meaning foundation - something that supports and connects everything together. “GREEN” reflects our commitment to sustainability, circular economy principles, and decarbonization. Together, GREEN AADHAAR stands for the foundational digital platform that powers a more circular future - by connecting every stakeholder, every waste stream, and every operation into a unified, transparent, and accountable system.

Our name reflects our mission: To digitally transform the global waste management sector by combining cutting-edge software, environmental intelligence, and grassroots capacity-building - making sustainability scalable, measurable, and accessible across industries and geographies.
