The Issue
India’s rivers have a very particular problem with regards to its river-pollution caused due to dumping of flowers in the river. As a practice in many religions across the country tonnes of flowers are presented as a sign of worship.
Once presented at a place of worship, these flowers become sacrosanct and cannot simply be thrown away. A common age-old practice to dispose of them has been to throw them into sacred water bodies like the Ganges.
About 8,000,000 tonnes of flower waste is dumped into the Indian rivers each year across 600,000 places of worship.
Although bio-degradable and natural, many of these mass grown roses, lilies and marigolds contain fertilizers and pesticides that are used to grow these flowers. This leads to the pollution of rivers where the flowers rot – killing fishes and creating havoc in the fragile ecosphere of the water body and cause enormous pollution.
Our Action
As we know India’s sacred river, the Ganges, provides a water source for 400 million people, toxicity like this is also highly lethal for humans.
With our mission to contribute towards having clean rivers in India, we collect and recycle these discarded flowers to create our incense sticks.
Our incense sticks are hand-rolled by women artisans.
Once collected, the flowers are passed through a rigorous cleansing process to wither out any toxic chemicals and pesticides.
They are then sun-dried and pulverised to create a fine powder which acts as a raw-material towards making the incense sticks.
