One material stream, four ways to specify it. Every piece states what it used to be, and every piece comes back to us at end of life.
For architectsWall cladding, ceiling baffles, partition infill and feature surfaces. Sheet up to 1200 × 2400 mm, thickness 8 / 12 / 18 mm.
For designersCommissioned lobby pieces, donor walls, wayfinding and sculptural screens. Colour blended to your palette from sorted waste streams.
Desk objects, coasters, trays and awards - made from your own office plastic, branded, in volume, with a number your auditor can check.
For interiorsTable tops, benches, stools, counters and reception desks. Indoor and covered outdoor. Custom moulds from MOQ 50.
Architects, interior practices, developers and brand teams across India. Names below are placeholders - swap in the real client list and logo files.
Five steps, no virgin filler, no binding resin. Every batch is weighed and logged against a number stamped into the finished piece.
CHAKRA started in 2019 in Coimbatore with a shredder, a hydraulic press and one uncomfortable question: if recycled material is so good, why does nobody publish what is actually in it?
So we publish it. Every sheet carries a batch number. Every batch has a weight, a polymer breakdown and a collection origin behind it. When a number is estimated we say estimated. When a product cannot do something - structural loads, direct sun, food contact - we print that on the same page as the sales copy, because losing a specification is cheaper than being the reason a detail fails on site.
We are 14 people. 22 of them came from the informal waste sector and are now on payroll with PF, ESI and full safety gear. That is the part of circularity nobody puts on a moodboard.
Replace the rows below with real coverage and links. Unverified placeholders are tagged.
A closed loop your CSR and ESG reporting can actually cite: we collect your company's plastic, weigh it, and return it as furniture, signage or gifting - with a batch-level report attached.
We audit your waste stream, install collection bins, lift on a fixed cycle and issue a signed diversion statement each quarter. You get the material back as something your staff sits on.
A branded PDF for your annual report: kilos diverted, batch numbers, method notes and the limits of every claim.
Put a bench in the breakout area and a Chakra Bin beside it. People drop their bottles, cups and wrappers in on the way past - no programme to launch, no behaviour to change. We weigh every lift, and the contents come back as the next piece of furniture in that same room.
Diwali and onboarding gifting where the story is verifiable, not implied.
Spec sheets, CAD/Revit blocks, fire and UV test references, and a swatch box couriered to your studio.
Tell us the project, the deadline and the certification you are chasing. We will tell you honestly whether our material fits - including when it does not.
Same specification questions an Indian architect has to answer to a client, put side by side. Every figure tagged in blue still needs verifying against a test report before this page goes live.
Non-structural. Non-load-bearing. Not food-contact safe in post-consumer grades. Suitable for interiors and covered outdoor use. For direct-sun exposure ask for the UV-stabilised grade and expect visible colour movement over 14 years. Spans over 600 mm need a substrate. We would rather lose a specification than be the reason a detail fails on site.
Drag it. Then export the numbers straight into your client presentation or CSR annexure.
Pick a product, set a quantity. We show the working.
One standard product = 4 kg of plastic waste. Four of them carry roughly one tree's year of carbon work. That is an equivalence for scale - not a tree planted, and not a tree saved.
We take the plastic from a single event - weighed on the day, at that venue - and make exactly as many pieces as it yields. When the material runs out, the drop is closed. It is never made again, because the waste that made it does not exist twice.
Festivals, marathons, conferences, weddings, campus fests. We bring bins and a weighing station, run the collection on the day, and hand back a numbered edition your sponsors can actually keep.
Ask the awkward ones. We would rather answer them now than after a purchase order.
Nothing here is a certified LCA. It is arithmetic we are willing to show you, so you can decide how much weight it carries in your report.
If your certification body needs verified numbers, ask us for the batch records and give them to your own assessor.
