Turning India's Toughest Waste into Industrial Gold
Inventive Scientific Minds (ISM) is a deep-tech sustainability startup dedicated to recovering value from complex waste streams. Founded by expert bio-technologists, ISM leverages cutting-edge biochemistry to create scalable, profitable, and eco-friendly solutions for plastic circularity and infrastructure maintenance.
Our Mission & Vision
Mission
To be the circular material innovation engine of India for the world! Transforming waste into valuable industrial resources for sustainable future.
Vision
To be the pioneers of revolutionary technologies in circular carbon economy.
"Founded by two PhD scientists, ISM has cracked the code on MLP waste. Unlike traditional methods that burn plastic to recover metal, our proprietary biochemical process separates aluminum from plastic in under 24 hoursโ€”recovering both at 99% purity. We don't just see garbage; we see trapped resources."
Product #1: Upcycling MLP Waste
Why Choose ISM? Our Competitive Edge
Not all recycling processes are created equal. The method matters as much as the outcome. Our biochemical approach delivers superior results across environmental, economic, and quality metrics compared to traditional alternatives.
Our process doesn't just match the competition โ€” it redefines what's possible. By preserving material integrity while maintaining environmental standards, we've created a solution that delivers value to both the planet and the bottom line.
Product #2: Instant Pothole Filler
An all-weather, rapid-repair solution for road infrastructure that fixes potholes without traffic disruptions, extending road life and improving safety.
Works on both Bitumen and Concrete roads
