Adapting to a New Normal

As the COVID-19 pandemic persisted, NAvakara adapted by transitioning from its four-story Environmental Hub to a smaller, more practical premise. With in-person classes and community gatherings on pause, many activities shifted online. Operations were streamlined at the newly established Waste Less Warehouse, where retail services and office activities continued. Delivery services remained a key focus, emphasizing minimal packaging and reducing emissions through partnerships with bicycle messenger services.
NAvakara’s commitment to sustainable living remained unwavering. The team expanded collaborations with eco-conscious producers and partnered with a like-minded business owner to establish the Waste Less Corner within a restaurant, bringing greener retail options closer to consumers. Furthering its impact, NAvakara assisted small businesses in designing reusable food delivery boxes, reinforcing its mission to reduce waste and champion eco-friendly solutions.
