Delhi's Air Pollution Solution by Dharasksha 🌱

While Delhi suffocated under stubble smoke, one asthmatic founder transformed the problem into the solution. Arpit from Dharaksha discovered that mushroom mycelium can turn agricultural waste into packaging that’s stronger than thermocol but biodegrades in 60 days instead of 2000 years.
The process is circular - collect farm stubble destined for burning, steam clean it, add mushroom spores, and watch nature weave packaging that rivals synthetic alternatives. Every package created prevents pollution while giving farmers income from waste they once burned.
This represents the future of sustainable manufacturing - where environmental problems become raw materials, where waste streams become value chains, and where nature’s own processes replace toxic industrial methods.
It’s not just about replacing thermocol - it’s about reimagining how we think about waste, packaging, and the relationship between agriculture and industry. #sustainability #sustainablepackaging
