Awards & Recognitions
Honors to sustainability
🎥 Behind the Innovation: Plastic Reimagined
On 20th June, during the 2nd Global Conclave on Plastic Recycling and Sustainability, we had the privilege to meet Mr. Mahummad from JB rPET and JB ECOTEX. He opened our eyes to the extraordinary ways plastic bottles can be transformed — into PET products, marbles, crushers, decorative stones, threads, and even fabric for clothing.
What once seemed like a planet-depleting, non-biodegradable burden is now a resource for sustainable innovation. The video showcases these real-world transformations — from discarded plastic to high-value, eco-conscious materials.
🌱 It’s a powerful reminder that with the right technology and vision, we can turn waste into wonder.
Our Commitment to Sustainability 
At Anant Shikhar, sustainability is more than a checkbox — it’s a core value and a continuous learning journey.
We’re part of a generation that’s not just inheriting challenges, but actively solving them. That belief was only strengthened when our team participated in the 2nd Global Conclave on Plastic Recycling and Sustainability, held from 17th to 20th June 2025 — a transformative experience for us.
What We Learned
During the exhibition, we explored powerful innovations in sustainability and plastic reuse. From plastic waste being converted into usable threads, construction marbles, and even recycled PET bottles, we witnessed first hand how waste can be reimagined as raw potential.
These insights opened our minds to the circular economy, where design, production, and recycling come full circle — reducing environmental harm while unlocking new creative possibilities.
How We’re Acting on It
We’ve taken these learnings straight into our F1 in Schools journey:
Sustainable Prototyping: Exploring biodegradable or recycled materials in parts of our car and display models.
Our Innovations: Working on inventions like Anant Bot, and much more to be revealed in the pit.
Digital Sustainability: Prioritizing digital communication and documentation to cut down on paper use.
Upcycling & Reuse: Repurposing components and using discarded materials for mockups, testing, and even decor.
Energy Awareness: Using rechargeable systems wherever possible, reducing reliance on disposable batteries.
Small Steps, Big Impact
We know we’re not perfect — but every choice we make reflects our responsibility as young innovators. Whether it’s redesigning with eco-consciousness, raising awareness through our outreach, or integrating sustainable thinking into our pit display, we’re striving to be part of the solution.
Because for us, racing toward the future means protecting it too.
