 food might satisfy your hunger and fill your stomach, but it neither nourishes you nor the environment as these wrappers generate a lot of waste causing negative environmental impact. These packets in wrappers are made from a mixture of materials such as plastic and aluminium that are not easily decomposed. We might have not given it much of a thought while enjoying that packet of chips, but an innovator named Sartha Gupta has found a solution for this problem. So I'm a native of Kanpur and while I was working for an MNC, I always used to read news articles where Kanpur was mentioned as one of the most polluted cities. So I wanted to do something in that respect and I wanted to tackle the pollution and plastic pollution seems to be a very, very big problem not for Kanpur but for the whole entire globe. So I started working on those ideas and then I figured out okay, I can actually work around it and I can actually create an impact in this space. That's how I started with this venture. So in our process, we take these type of material and convert them into boards where the colour consistency is not required and different layer of polymers help us as reinforcement between the matrix. These boards that we make out of plastic waste can be used for formwork application and furniture application and since these are made from plastic waste, these are waterproof and termite proof, also they are customizable. We have one other vertical where we are developing 100% compostable polymer resins from waste resources. We'll be the first company in India to do so and the first company in the world to generate a second generation polymer. So right now we can recycle flows to around two metric tons of plastic waste every day, but we are expanding our facility to 20 metric tons which will create an impact in the plastic pollution space and also will help us generate revenue upwards of 10 CR. For the Dover polymer, we are in talk with the government organizations and we are about to bring out that product into the market. Government has also recognized their efforts and supported them. The support from government of India has been very crucial for our organization, it is because of their support that we have been able to come this far in our journey. We have been provided support from various ministries and departments of government of India including Department of Science and Technology, Department of Biotechnology, MSME, Ministry of Electronics and we have also been provided support through various organizations through the CSR initiatives. Apart from the support from the different ministries, we have received immense support from SIIIC, IIT Kanpur which is an incubation center set up through with the help of SHITB Fund. They have been very crucial because they supported our idea, they incubated our idea and they have been providing us with all the mentorship support that we have needed so far. Though India still has a long way to go to become a leader in developing cutting-edge, path-breaking and innovative technologies, but innovation like these provides an impetus to our young minds to work for a better tomorrow. Patience is the key, things will not go as you have planned, it will never go as you have planned but have patience and believe in yourself and your idea, think for innovative solutions at every step, at every problem that you face, that is how you can actually succeed otherwise it's a very tough road ahead.
