Although, SustainabiliTEA is still not our cup of tea, all of us Indians are trying really hard. After all, every household in India still has a big polythene full of smaller polythenes and EMOTIONS. Old habits die hard, you see. So, how are we keeping up with the eco-friendly journey? Well, I will let the numbers around Indian Sustainable Brands talk:

The number of sustainable brands in India has grown by 25% in the last two years.

The Tatva Mix is a sustainable material designed from rejected or broken ceramic products. Hence, the brand uses disqualified ceramics to make much stronger ceramic products.

Bamboostan Agro Pvt Ltd.
Bamboostan is based in the pink city, of Jaipur, Rajasthan. Dealer of Beema Bamboo, this brand aims to motivate people to opt for Beema bamboo plantations. By planting these energy-efficient plants, Bamboostan wants farmers to walk along the journey: From Annadata to Urjadata. Such an auspicious initiative!
Bamboo is an essential plant that is used in India for making various products like incense sticks, lathis, flutes, etc. Not only that, but Beema Bamboo also produces approximately 35% oxygen and absorbs more carbon than other plantations. Another benefit is that it is the best energy crop and has more biomass than many other bamboo varieties combined. Bamboostan, on this journey, is surely going to gain a lot!
