Arryavardhan Sarda (Author) New Delhi [India], August 19: In today’s era, where the whole world is diving into the garbage and combating climate change, this young environment-conscious personality, Arryavardhan Sarda (student of GRADE 12), believed in the power of redefining and promoting waste, not as a challenge, but as an opportunity. His debut book, ‘WASTE TO WEALTH’ is undoubtedly a game-changer, amongst the youth especially, explaining how waste is not the END but a START to sustainable environment.

This book primarily focuses on inspiring individuals to practice sustainable measures and reduce the influence on the environment. Based on true examples and real-life experiences, practical findings and a strong commitment towards sustainable innovation, Waste to Wealth makes the readers sail through the matchless potential of the nation’s waste sector. This young mind has followed the influential walkthrough of Shauniq Sharma, who has always been a determined participant while concerned about the environment.

‘WASTE to WEALTH’ emphasizes how even a single individual can play a crucial role in developing a sustainable future. There is a powerful saying, ‘One Person Can Make a Difference’. However, Shauniq Sharma, through his unstoppable, relentless and inspiring efforts, remained steadfast, took smaller actions and also initiated a waste-sorting program at his school. Thus, gradually proving that one individual can indeed make a difference.

A Blueprint towards An Improved Economy Blending in the facts with the reality, WASTE TO WEALTH is surely not only a book but a strong-laid foundation of a thrived nation by reconsidering what we are throwing away. Sarda breaks down the fundamentals of efficient waste sorting, outlines various innovative solutions at individual and business levels and highlights steps taken towards a CHANGED TOMORROW.

The book is structured into 10 different chapters. Every chapter unlocks a different sector — from effective waste sorting, the hierarchy of waste, to what the several innovative measures are that can be taken to bring a positive change and how this change can help transform WASTE into WEALTH. It also offers various practical tips and examples on managing the waste effectively and creating value out of it.

The 16-year-old author, through his debut, talks about how unused and scrap material — whether it is plastic, paper or food waste — can be changed into booming sustainable solutions and progressing business models.
