Redesigning the Urban Metabolism of Nepal

Where Urban Studies meets field-level action. We engineer systems to turn urban waste into resource wealth.

Something About Us

At Green Smith Nepal, we don't just see 'trash'—we see a systemic design flaw in our city's architecture. As urban scholars and sustainability engineers, we analyze the city as a living organism. Our mission is to repair the broken loops in Nepal's urban resource flow—from the lithium in our EVs to the microplastics in our water—to build cities that are resilient, circular, and livable.

Integrated Solid Waste Management

Implementing decentralized resource recovery to divert 60%+ of municipal waste from landfills.

E-Waste & Urban Mining

Secure IT asset disposition and lithium-battery recovery for the digital age.

Microplastics & Pollution Mitigation

Source-reduction audits and filtration strategies for the hospitality and industrial sectors.

Circular Economy Policy & Advocacy

Partnering with municipalities to draft Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) frameworks and green urban legislation.

Urban City Resilience

sing GIS and spatial planning to solve drainage, heat-island effects, and haphazard urbanization.

Sustainable Urban Transportation

Consulting on EV infrastructure and "Walkable City" blueprints for Kathmandu’s transit evolution.
