In India, the act of worship involves the offering of thousands of tons of flowers at temples every day. However, this tradition comes with a significant environmental challenge. The remnants of these floral offerings create mountains of waste that often end up polluting rivers with harmful chemicals and pesticides.

Thankfully, one business has taken the initiative to transform this waste into valuable products. By repurposing the flower waste, they are able to create natural dyes used in garments, some of which have even been sold by popular brands like Anthropologie. Additionally, other entrepreneurs have found innovative ways to utilize the flower waste by producing fragrances and incense sticks.

This inspiring video explores how Indians are tackling the issue of temple waste and transforming it into sustainable and commercially viable products. By doing so, they not only address the environmental concerns but also provide economic opportunities for local businesses.

Join the journey as the video highlights the efforts made to reduce waste and create a circular economy around temple offerings. Witness the creative solutions that allow this once-polluting waste to be transformed into valuable resources, benefitting both the environment and the economy.
