These plastic flowers from China are in a street market in Mumbai. Plastic from the Dharavi slums goes to China as pellets and comes back as flowers.
The Dharavi slum was founded in 1882 during the British colonial era, and grew in part because of an expulsion of factories and residents from the peninsular city centre by the colonial government, and from the migration of poor rural Indians into urban Mumbai.
Dharavi has an active informal economy in which numerous household enterprises employ many of the residents.
