thermocol

The Durga Puja pandal by the Indraprastha Matri Mandir Nirman Society at Aradhana Park in IP Extension has gone further and used recycled items sourced from junkyards and scrap dealers. With gas cylinders for heads and steel scrap for bodies, the idols are accompanied with decorations made from used bulbs and soft drink cans.

For Ferdin, the environment comes first!

The new rules aim to reduce the clogging of drains that are responsible for submerged roads. The chief reason behind clogged drains happens to be thermocol, says the BBMP.

Anakta Prabhu, a 12-year-old resident of Bhopal, has demonstrated an innovative way of curbing the thermocol menace by recycling it to make toys and other decorative items.

Road Transport and Highways Ministry has proposed the use of thermocol in place of soil to fill potholes on roads. With the use of thermocol, a brand of Geofoam, the cost of road repairs and the time required for it will be significantly reduced.
