MACCIA + GTU + Circularity — 100 Village Circular Economy Pilot
MACCIA (Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Agriculture) · GTU (Gujarat Technological University)
Problem
Rural Maharashtra produces 50–80 Mt/yr of organic and material residue that gets burned, dumped or landfilled — destroying both health and economic value.
Circularity Global's role
Provide the infrastructure layer: Atlas-led site selection, Hub Builder blueprints, finance routing via Network, community share-of-value via Foundation.
MACCIA's role
MACCIA mobilises chambers + village entrepreneurs. GTU provides academic verification + student field teams.
Impact potential
100 villages × ~$50–250k each = $5–25M circular infrastructure deployment; ~5,000–10,000 livelihoods.
