"A Delhi-based engineer has designed a replacement for polystyrene packaging out of “rice stubble” the dead stalks left over after the rice season in India, millions of tons of which are burned every year.

They say wisdom oft comes from the mouths of babes, and Mr. Arpit Dhupar was at first left scratching his head when his young nephew drew a picture of the world with a grey sky.

Everything else was normal, green grass, yellow sun, white and brown mountains; why was the sky grey? It dawned on him that his nephew was drawing the sky as he saw it every year when the rice stubble was burned: grey.

“We shouldn’t live in a world where we have to explain to kids that the sky should be painted blue. It should be a given,” he told The Better India.

So he launched a new business venture called Dharaksha Ecosystems in order to tackle the rice stubble problem. Essentially, the farmers need it cleared off their land asap after harvest. Its high moisture content means it’s not useful for stove fuel, so they burn it in massive pyres.

In his factory, he turns 250 metric tons of rice stubble harvested from 100 acres of farmland in Punjab and Haryana into packaging, while paying the farmers a rate of $30 per acre for something they would usually burn.

Dhupar originally wanted to use mushrooms to rapidly biodegrade baled stacks of rice stubble, but found that the fungus left behind a metabolite that wasn’t biodegradable—in other words, he’d have to create a waste problem to solve a waste problem.

Over time he realized that the filaments that make up the subterranean structure of the mushrooms, called mycelium, were acting as a sort of binding agent, turning the baled stubble into something durable.

“This wasn’t a waste material but could be a usable one,” said Dhupar. “Through bio-fabrication, we could use the stubble waste to create a material similar to [polystyrene], but one that was biodegradable.”

There are a lot of these sorts of sustainable packaging ideas floating around, invented by people who rarely have experience in markets and commerce. This is not the case with Dhupar’s stubble packaging.

He has already prevented over half a million pounds of polystyrene from entering landfills since launching his product, which has numerous, exceptional properties.

They sell around 20 metric tons of their product every month, making about $30.5 thousand dollars per annum, mostly by selling to glassware companies."

PET Straps: A Versatile Solution for Bundling and Securing Goods

Introduction

In the world of #packaging and logistics, finding efficient and reliable methods for bundling and securing goods is crucial. One such method that has gained popularity in recent years is the use of PET straps. PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) straps are versatile, strong, and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional packaging materials like steel strapping and nylon straps. In this blog, we will delve into the various benefits and applications of #PETstraps, highlighting why they have become a preferred choice for businesses across industries.

Strength and Durability

PET straps are known for their exceptional strength and durability. They are capable of withstanding significant tension without snapping or breaking, making them an ideal choice for securing heavy loads. Whether you're bundling construction materials, industrial products, or even palletized goods, PET straps offer the reliability and strength needed to keep items secure during transit.

Lightweight and Cost-Effective

Compared to steel strapping, PET straps are significantly lighter, which translates to reduced shipping costs. The lightweight nature of PET straps also makes them easier to handle and maneuver during the packaging process. Businesses can save on labor costs due to the increased efficiency and reduced physical strain on workers.

Safe Handling

PET straps are designed to minimize the risk of injuries during the packaging process. Unlike steel strapping, PET straps are less likely to have sharp edges that can cause cuts or abrasions. This contributes to a safer working environment for employees involved in packaging and transporting goods.

Corrosion Resistance

One of the drawbacks of steel strapping is its susceptibility to corrosion, particularly when exposed to moisture or harsh environmental conditions. PET straps, on the other hand, are corrosion-resistant, ensuring that they maintain their integrity and strength even in challenging environments. This corrosion resistance is especially beneficial when shipping goods across long distances or storing them for extended periods.

Versatility in Application

PET straps find applications across a wide range of industries. From the construction sector, where they secure heavy building materials, to the agricultural industry, where they bundle crops, PET straps prove their versatility. They are also used in the shipping and logistics industry to secure parcels and palletized goods. The straps are available in various widths and thicknesses, allowing businesses to choose the most suitable option based on their specific needs.

Environmentally Friendly

As businesses increasingly focus on sustainability, PET straps offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional packaging materials. PET is a recyclable material, and many PET straps are made from recycled content. By choosing PET straps, companies can demonstrate their commitment to reducing their carbon footprint and minimizing their impact on the environment.

Ease of Disposal

When it comes to the end of their life cycle, PET straps are relatively easy to dispose of responsibly. Unlike steel strapping, which can pose challenges for recycling and waste management, PET straps can often be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.

Conclusion

In the world of modern packaging and logistics, PET straps have emerged as a versatile and reliable solution for bundling and securing goods. Their strength, durability, lightweight nature, and eco-friendly characteristics make them an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their packaging processes while minimizing costs and environmental impact. As industries continue to evolve, PET straps are likely to play an increasingly significant role in shaping the future of efficient and sustainable packaging solutions.
