Ecoware is led by Founder & CEO, Ms. Rhea Mazumdar Singhal. Rhea founded Ecoware in 2010 when there was little awareness about the harmful effects of plastic. Cheap oil prices had led to a proliferation of plastic production and usage. Yet, the devastation caused to the natural environment and the harmful effects on human and animal health went unnoticed. There were no plastic bans or any sort of incentives to change consumer behaviour. This is when Rhea decided to disrupt the commoditised packaging industry by creating a natural and healthy alternative to single-use plastics.
