Enhancing livelihood of farmers through sustainable technologies
Pioneering with bananas, bell peppers and a fruitful medley. Sounds incredible? We've got proof! Using our solar greenhouse dryers and cold stores helps efficient post-harvest management of horticulture produce, marine and meat products, enhancing their value. Hard to believe that approximately 30% of the fruits went to waste before. Another bonus: the technology benefits our environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Read on to find out how we are enhancing livelihood of farmers through sustainable technologies.
Discover how our innovative materials are not only helping to address daily disasters caused by untreated human waste, but also transforming it into a valuable resource. By substituting synthetic fertilizers with this waste, we make a significant contribution to improving soil health and boosting agricultural produce. Furthermore, our Makrolon-based greenhouses are revolutionizing farming by providing the optimal temperatures required to eliminate harmful pathogens that could enter the food chain and harm human resources. Join us as our #InclusiveBusiness partners share the impact of our sustainable waste-to-wealth solution on our environment, agriculture, and society as a whole.
PIR Drywall Construction Technology
PIR (Polyisocyanurate) is a superior form of rigid polyurethane technology, with significantly higher benefits of fire retardance, thermal and sustainability. It has been validated and certified by BMTPC under PAC No. 1039-S/2018, issue no. 1, Date of issue: 30-08-2018 and renewed on 10-02-2020.
PIR dry wall panel system is almost 8 times lighter than conventional brick-mortar walls. They are sandwich panels, which are composed of Fiber Cement Board (CFB)/ metal sheets/ oriented strand board/ gypsum board as facing on one or both sides with PIR foam as filling material. The panels can be used as internal/external partitions (and walls) and also for roofing solutions. This technology is suitable of single as well as multi storey buildings.
