Preserving Nepal's Nature. Powering Circular Wealth.
Safa Urja works with municipalities, farmers and industries across Nepal to collect, sort and recover waste, and gives it a second life as Safa Mal organic fertiliser, Saura Plast HDPE pipes, recycled plastic granules and eco-bricks.

How waste becomes resources
Nothing useful is wasted. Every collection runs through four stages that turn waste into products with real value.
01
Collect
Door-to-door pickup across wards on a published schedule.
02
Sort & recover
Streams separated at our Material Recovery Facility.
03
Recycle & compost
Plant material becomes fertiliser; plastics and metal re-enter industry.
04
New products
Safa Mal, pipes and granules return to market.
