Kanpur based Phool.co collects floral waste from the temples and mosques in Uttar Pradesh, thus preventing 7600 kgs of waste flowers and 97 kgs of toxic chemicals from getting into the river Ganges daily. The waste is handcrafted by rural women self-help groups into patented organic fertiliser and incense sticks via flowercycling. The company plans to expand this movement by having a pan-India presence in the years to come. Today, their product line consists of incense cones, incense sticks and vermicompost. Moreover, the company has made a packaging material named Florafoam. Made from temple-flowers, Florafoam is a high-performing, mouldable and durable material. Florafoam is 100% biodegradable and can be buried in a garden post usage. It is customisable to any shape, size, and strength, depending upon the usability.
