Our Patents

At iLEAD, we’re redefining traditions with innovation and sustainability. Instead of the usual shiny new trophies, we’ve introduced a groundbreaking design made from recycled microwave plates. Typically, when a microwave is discarded, the plate remains unprocessed. We saw an opportunity to upcycle these plates into unique, meaningful trophies.
We are thrilled to announce that this innovative design has received a patent from the Government of India, now registered as an intellectual property owned by iLEAD. These trophies symbolize not only achievement but also our commitment to sustainability.
By turning waste into something precious, we are leading the way in creating sustainable solutions. This patented design is more than just a trophy; it’s a revolution in how we perceive value and a cornerstone in our mission to bring sustainable items into the spotlight!
