eco friendly products

In 2021, three college friends Jagat Kalyan, Satyam Kumar, and Nitish Verma launched Taruwar Agro to make banana fibre folder, yoga mats, baskets, paintings, coasters, and more. Following a zero-waste approach, they process all parts of trees – from leaves to stems and pulp – into useful products.

Noticing the lack of sustainable alternatives to plastic stationery in India, Delhi-based Saurabh H Mehta started NOTE (No Offence To Earth) to develop a biodegradable pen. He has sold over 20,000 units so far.

Turning trash to treasure, these eco-friendly entrepreneurs found a way to scale the problem of waste (and profit from it) by using items that would otherwise have been discarded.
