About the Project:

Besides the Green Temple Initiative, Exnora Green Pammal (EGP) has taken a lot of initiative to process waste at source and in turn reduce the quantum of waste reaching the landfill. The organization promotes feasible clean technology solutions like Bio-gas production for domestic applications and vermi-composting to process the wet organic waste. In addition, dry organic wastes, such as coconut leaves, which have a good calorific value and burn in a much cleaner fashion than other biomass wastes and could also be used in industrial boilers are being turned into fuel briquettes. EGP strongly believes in finding a positive use for each waste stream, and works on resource recovery coupled with simple technology and innovations and gives back the society as recycled, upcycled and reusable products. Project Avthar, is one such initiative of the organization where the collected waste plastic pouches and carry bags are upcycled into a wide range of products for office, personal and household utilities. At first, the collected waste plastic pouches and carry bags are washed, cleaned and dried. Then the plastic pouches are cut into strips. The thin plastic strips are then woven on handlooms to make the upcycled products.
