Millions of tons of sugarcane waste, also known as bagasse, is produced every year. And India grows the second-most sugarcane of any country in the world. That's why Yash Pakka's brand Chuk is creating tableware out of the waste that is usually burned for fuel.

Government is banning plastic so it should also promote this type of products to replace the plastic
There is no plastic ban on ground. Plastic bags are in use every where.
@@SurajSinghTomarAryayes, also remember that single use plastic is banned not everything
On the lines of EV govt needs to give subsidies to promote
@@navneetkaliait would be more efficient to remove the subsidies that petro-chemical companies enjoy.

Im a proud Investor of pakka, i mainly invested because of ved krishna idea of saving the environment ❤
Hi, is it listed
@@bhaswatdutta yes on both bse and nse, nse recently listed
Thanks a lot 🙏🏽
Bagasse is the fibre. It contains lignin a natural gum that can bind these fibre together under heat. These can be converted to extruded firewood. That is done with rice husk in Bangladesh. Plates made of processed bagasse could replace 50% of plastic and styrofoam.
Great company and owner! They should export this product to Europe as well. The world needs it.
Thank you Yash Pakka, Claudia Barona and other innovators around the world! Hopefully we'll see the end of plastic sooner rather than later.
The irony is when plastic introduced, it were promoted as environmental friendly alternative for paper packaging, the narrative is we need to reduce cutting down the tree, and plastic is recyclable
Sugarcane is not a tree category, its under farming. In that case we should not cut rice/wheat/maze trees..!
So beautiful to see all these biodegradable solutions and options emerging.
It is certainly soothing that people are making efforts to provide a healing touch to our mother nature. But, I feel govt. should provide subsidies to such start-ups and also promote them. Govt. can also make such utensils compulsory in govt set ups like railways. Also, our premier institutions should work to improve the technology to reduce the cost and make it less machine intensive so that the tech can be set up in low investment
Govt is providing them subsidies under MSME act. Yes more research is required so that more industries grow up in India manufacturing these kind from waste. Also like you said promotion is required
I have seen non-plastic utensils for meals served on all aircraft I have flown on in Bhārat.
Here in Canada, I recently bought a milkshake from McDonald’s - with a paper straw just like the ones that were ubiquitous decades ago. Unfortunately, it only worked properly for a few sips, then was wet and collapsed. It was very hard to drink after that. So these ecopreneurs have to not only make a product that seems like a reasonable replacement for plastic, but also performs properly. But I am happy to see Chuk and all the other innovative companies doing this good work!
Entrepreneurs are trying. Consumers also have to be more acceptable of slight discomfort or cost for sustainability
These people are the actual climate warriors
💡 Indian Govt. could impose an additional charge while purchasing products that are either packed or sold in plastic materials.
[ same principle can be applied for glass and other ♻️ material ]
Every customer could be rewarded in some way, let's say per 50-100gms on returning the clean & empty plastic item.
This way, people would be educated & mindful how they dispose off their plastics (& other ♻️ material) waste - simultaneously keeping the country "cleaner and greener"!
Thank you Yash Pakka,So beautiful to see all these biodegradable solutions and options emerging, you are true ecological warrior.
True environmental champions🙏🏽💯💯
Well done. Great to see. All the best for the future - all our children and grandchildrens future depends on innovation like this
Amazing. Am interested in sugarcane products and want to learn more about the chemical properties of it.
Wow! Very impressive! Bravo!
Beautiful steps towards the way of development 🎉🙏
I appreciate your work .
I've used them, high quality, far better than paper.
Men you are great.
Thank you for caring!!
Amazing work
Big salute to Ved
Great.. All the best !!
Jika itu bermanfaat maka kerajaan perlu menyokong Dan turut bekerjasama menyalurkan keperluan kerana untuk negara sendiri bukan negara lain👍🥳🎉
Awesome India, keep it up 👍👍👍
Gathered a lot of information through this video thankyou for this wonderfull informative session..😊
I don't know if we use this in Louisiana but ; we grow a lot of sugar cane in the swamp's 😎
Amazing 👍🏾
It needs such visionaries in our nation n in the world around to make an action based fight against plastic pollution that is the cause of eventually most of the kinds of pollution
It always amazes me how the governments never openly and loudly appreciate these products.
It's like they don't even want to make the world better.....
These are worthy warriors. Salute
I am willing to pay even 12 bucks or 15 bucks for this plate but it is business owners who use plastic bec they think handling is easy for such stuff
Some people don’t even make that in an hour and you think it’s an ok price for a plate?
If R and D succeeds to reduce that additional 20% ,that's the real game changer.
Whr is dis place?
Going to use this product hereafter.
The future can be bright if we all co-operate.
From where can i get the technology for this project
The citizens of Cuba......should have a look at this clip. Sugar Cane is a large agricultural growth product in Cuba.
It is reported that Bagasse can be used as a medium for growing mushrooms.
Hi can I get this project details from you.
There was a thing called "Pattal" aka leaf plate used in ancient North of India but with time it was replaced with thermal and plastic plates. Different regions in India still use their respective regional leaf plates.
Good initiation... Can I get the number of any one from that factory
Amazing
Hi sir can the installation of a small scale industry of this type of plant cost how much it costs. Can u explain how I contact u
good product!
Can it be used to make plastic covers in which food items are packed for ex dal, curd,etc
Zabardast 👍 ,,, in the subcontinent concept of 'ENVIRONMENT' or CARBON FOOTPRINT is least bothered and discussed. I must say this company is making some difference. I Hope more people will start thinking on these lines.
we wanted this type.of products to Kerala.
Where we contact?
Good person
How minimum wage is calculated? Is it the same for male & female workers?
Congratulations on your effort to reduce pollution from use of plastic.
It is ideal for perishable commodity transport to replace wood and paper boxes. This will save deforestation.
Nice.
Bagassa. sounds like the portuguese word for grape must. How interesting.
Mantap
So what's the hold up? Do it
this stuff could make a cheap one season landscape fabric with some used cooking oil or some such on it to make it last from feb to november or so.
Can we make biodegradable plastic from Date seed powder???
How much cost is neede to start this type of company? Could please answer
Hope to see youll soon
don't stop making banana leaf plates! India was full-bio *before* 1960.
Is it a plastic problem or a more general waste management problem, though?
Want more information about it.
In tamil We used to Call Sugar As Chakkarai *சர்க்கரை* today i came to know , this word is derived from Chuk..
Tnx
In Hyderabad we call chekkara
This is really great but I do notice they use a lot of water. Can they recycle the water and reuse it at all?
Yes and you one can also use that water for crop irrigation...the water has natural fertilizer content
Not India's plastic problem, it can solve the World's plastic problem
Each indian should avoid use of plastic so,there will be less non- biodegradable issue and More use of digradable product.
When our mindsets aren't entangled everything is going to be beneficial we can easily understand where and when to use what. Biodegradablities are certainly superior qualities for environmental issues. We could certainly use in many ways. In Punjab burning parali has been reduced by utilizing fodder for different uses. Air pollution is amongest most dangerous pollution, burning causes bigger problem..
Great innovative process
Thanks
Banning and promoting products simultaneously only will help to win the war against the plastic
Hi. Please. Tell me how to ship it in Philippines Can I be somehow a reseller of these good stuff from India. I love the idea an I'm an environmentalist. Please. I wanna contribute to the betterment of environment. It needs help please. ...
Making manufacturing unit in India
I use paper products made from renewable bamboo, here in Canada.
Ditching that sugarcane waste in a landfill will lead to methane being released, but here in BC we collect that landfill methane and burn it for electricity.
Can you make paper napkins as well?
They make sugarcane bagasse napkins
Please get the plastic bags used by śākāvālās and chemists (and other businesses) for customers banned as well, and either get them to provide some kind of non-plastic bags or make the customers develop the habit of always carrying a bag of their own for purchases, like at supermarkets. In south Gujarat, such bags are banned from supermarkets, but not at the other businesses, though. However, what about the plastic bags used for bulk purchases in the pulses section? Maybe also develop the habit of bringing containers to be refilled? Something has to give.
Finally plastic has banned now chuk will grow more
Minimum wage is not 5000 but 8000
A worker getting 10k in today's world will barely be able to get by the whole month.
Plastics are not a problem - waste management problems cannot be attributed to plastics.
Plastic won't be replaced or other sustainable products promoted, it would put down few billionaire.
that disintegrated plastic as micro plastic is even more harmful
Government should give 0% GST tax for these items
Instead of converting bagasse into costly products, Can it not be exported to desert arid lands to convert it into crop bearing soil or as fertilizers Arabian gulf countries could be an example.....🤔
It's not nutrient rich enough to be used as a substitute to soil.
India has been using biodegradable plates and cups for many centuries. This is just one more product.
They should also make paper n toilet paper too !
Countries such as Japan, China, Korea etc use a lot of chopsticks. Bamboo is the typical material used for this. Can this material be processed into a chopstick?
The products hav to solve the problem at the same time b able to compete, thats the lesson the world has learnt, price is a deterrent , in order to b successful this company has to compete with the rest of the product & 'no' govt subsidy is not the answer , compete to survive , thats the name of the game .
I want Star this business
Sadly only philanthropy and caring for environment doesn't drive businesses and companies, money and profits do, so they need to figure out the way to earn profit if they wanna survive.
His mobile number for buying plates
Try contraception
What about reusable plates??? Cleaning them will use less energy than producing those one way plates... And since India is using a lot of coal and oil to produce energy this is far away from being environmental friendly...
Lmao “our plate dissolves in 3 months max”
“But does it make any difference in a landfill?”
Yes. He just said so.
Unless government good initiative to bring strict law the usage of plastic will not come down. People should discourage to use plastic. Government should encourage with zero tax on companies producing degradable products. Above all individual citizens who really care for nature should discourage and avoid usage of plastics in daily life to the maximum if possible avoid 100 percent
Or india could outlaw single use plastic items.
I want to visit your factory and give me your address
You can search on Google

131$ a month. Thats low
Yeah, it’s low. But the living costs in India are low as well. 10k isn’t much, but it’s better than other alternatives for a poor worker.
Really good .sugar cane is majar crops in india. If we use this sugar cane powder base plates
Our nature our soil our environment will save for future.
Thank you
Real environmentalists. Shame on clowns calling themselves one on london Roads blocking traffic & vandalising showrooms in Orange paint.
Plastic has destroyed our beautiful earth.
And humans along with it
