Currently we are working on converting multi-layered plastic (MLP), polycotton waste and Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste into high-quality 3D-printing filament which we will then use to 3D-print high-margin, customized products through rapid lab-to-market cycles.
On a macro level, our vision is more long-term and holistic, focused primarily on the well-being of the poorest in the supply chain (waste-pickers, kabbadiwalas), while ensuring that our planet thrives.
Our utopia would consist of decentralised “resource cradles” or recycling centres at the sub-district level across India that:
Naturefab is a clothing brand that manufactures performance apparels like tees, pajamas, leggings and other products using bamboo fabric. Our aim is to provide you clothing made from softest fabric that will ever touch your skin. The fabric possesses many advantages over cotton and other fabrics.
The simple, high-quality t-shirts that we could wear to work were surprisingly hard to find. The high end t-shirts were overpriced and over-designed. The simpler ones were just not up to the mark. And neither category offered us a really comfortable tee. There was just no ideal option.
And in China we saw tees made from Bamboo fabric. We researched. We studied Bamboo, staple and yarn. We met people. We learned about production processes. We questioned. We asked how things could be done differently. And then we took the plunge. So we decided to create it. Seven months later, the classic ‘NatureFab Bamboo Tee’ was born.
Our list of products include bamboo tees for men, women, polo t-shirts, leggings, joggers, yoga pants etc. Our products are available for purchase from our website.

Constructed on the cornerstones of conscious consumption, preventive care, conservation practices and cultural preservation, the heart of Good Graze lies in the beautiful district of Sindhudurg, an eco-cultural gem in Maharashtra. Five generations, 170+ acres of land and an expansive coconut grove led to the culmination of a boutique, zero-waste concept cemented
on the ideology of quality and authenticity.
The founders deep-dove into a business model that would allow them to give back to their wonderful land, the people who associate with the land, and the culture that runs through their veins. The vision for the project was aimed at the conversation of the legacy of the ‘padekars’, the coconut pluckers, and the consequent upliftment of the local community.
After having consumed their regional produce at home for decades, Good Graze decided to present a clean
and honest coconut brand to the Indian subcontinent. For generations on end, Ayurveda has championed the
versatility of this superfood that simultaneously nourishes one’s gut, skin, and hair. A cold-pressed
coconut oil, coconut sugar and desiccated coconut are some of their introductory offerings, allowing consumers a chance to experience their range in a variety of forms.
Demarcated as one of the primary eco-sensitives zones in India, the care and upkeep of the estate are of grave
importance to them. Good Graze is at the apex of transparency and quality checks while advocating sustainable farming practices that are not only beneficial to the farmers but also replenish the land ethically.
Furthermore, it is surrounded by an expanse of natural spring water as part of their plantation which in turn
amplifies the quality of the yield consistently.
The coconut trees planted on the grove are of the oldest kind of variety, Banavali & Pratap, and also act as a
founding base to other hybrid varieties of the fruit. The constant use of spring water, the passionate upkeep of
the area, consistent rainfall in the region and mindful farming practises allow 2700 coconut trees to thrive year
on year. On average, a coconut palm in Sindhurdurg typically yields 100 coconuts per annum.
An authentic and traditional brand at both, product and heart, Good Graze combines the richness of the fruit
with the discipline of the yielding process, offering a new standard for pure, fresh and natural products to its
consumers.
