About Veena
A self-confessed 'obsessive' when it comes to waste, Veena Sahajwalla regularly raids her home rubbish bins for inspiration.
Now she is unveiling her latest invention, a 'microfactory' that creates building materials and tiles from the unlikely combination of old clothes and glass.
Inspired walking the streets of her Mumbai neighbourhood as a child, Veena observed almost everything was reused and 'nothing was wasted.'
This attitude underpinned her career as an engineer and sowed the seeds for a variety of ground-breaking ideas, including making steel from car tyres.
