Problem
Farmers in India face economic instability, resource scarcity, and the escalating impacts of climate change, while the country produces 500 million tonnes of agricultural waste annually. A significant portion of this waste is burned, releasing harmful pollutants, or ends up in landfills, producing methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
Solution
Kohinoori addresses these issues by transforming agricultural waste, specifically corn husks, into sustainable paper and packaging products. This process prevents pollution from stubble burning and reduces landfill waste, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. By utilizing materials that would otherwise be discarded, Kohinoori provides an additional income stream for farmers, fostering economic growth and supporting the circular economy. The company's biodesign solutions offer a sustainable alternative to traditional paper and packaging, promoting environmentally responsible practices.
