Sidhant Pai ’14 was among the 55 fellows selected for this year’s prestigious Echoing Green fellowship for social entrepreneurs. Based in India, Pai’s venture, Protoprint, empowers urban waste pickers with the technology to produce fair trade 3-D printer filament from the waste plastic they collect. Protoprint markets the filament globally, providing consumers with a price-competitive, ethically sourced, recycled alternative to virgin plastic. Pai is also a D-Lab Scale-Ups fellow, a Legatum fellow and the first prize winner of the CEE video competition, and Protoprint was among the IDEAS Global Challenge winners this spring.  Read more about Protoprint:
