Yajaswi founded Leklekk: The Green Wave that brings alternatives to plastic products and yet achieves a fair balance of profitability, social responsibility and environmental sustainability through three phases of giving, recycling and growing. Yajaswi's LekLekk already has further green plans - her firm will strive to replenish the resources they use for production by planting equal, if not twice the number of trees. She claims they have already planted a total of 1,400 trees in Kathmandu valley in collaboration with different local governments and NGOs. According to Yajaswi, environmental issues and concerns surrounding plastics should not be understood as the issues of certain activists and social enterprises only, but a matter of wider societal wellbeing. “Every sector should consider it as a cross-cutting issue. Only then, sustainable products and services are likely to gain traction.”
