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.

E-Waste & Urban Mining

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