- Millions of Hindu worshippers start every day with a ritual offering of flowers. Temples dump those flowers into the Ganges, adding harmful chemicals and pesticides to a river that’s a lifeline for over 400 million people. Phool, an Indian startup, collects the discarded flowers and transforms them into handmade incense sticks.

How Sacred Flowers Are Turned Into Incense Sticks | World Wide Waste
No one gonna talk about how he just casually started a research lab to see if he could make vegan leather and styrofoam out of these flowers?!? I dont know where anyone would even think of that, but thats a great idea! There are some great minds out there.
@@arjun9339 but
are there any made of something like flowers?
@@arjun9339 western made vegan leather is just plastic with extra garnishing. Dont be fooled by false labels. Vegan leather made out of material like these flowers are probably better for the environment.
@@anosayo4643 there is vegan leather made from mangos, too.
I have seen mango leather Germany.

He is not doing business, he is serving the mankind and environment.
True, for reducing flower waste issue & helping Indian Woman make independent with financially (make gender equallity for woman, so, make woman not depending other men for financial & economy)
Nope
Yes he might not be doing business but still he can't save the environment as these incense sticks still are burned and emitted carbon dioxide , the only way to protect environment is to decrease the demand of human over environment
yeah.....tell that to this bank accounts. lmao

because hindus believe in dialog. Hindu religion is very flexible. they can change rules according to timeline
Frankly I have always been told that flowers used in pooja should never been thrown away in dustbin with regular waste. They should always be thrown in mud where plants are growing.

How about not creating this wastage everyday in the first place ? Flowers are reproductive organs of plants. Plucking them everyday means their chances of spreading and also food for insects like bees and humming birds is being taken out in huge amounts. Disrupting the entire eco system affecting the bee population and agriculture too.
And turning them into incense stick is worse than letting them rot away. Now by burning them you are just adding a bit more CO2 into the atmosphere than there should be. Letting them rotting will man it just becomes fertilizers for soil and food for small worms and insects.
This is a set of most selfish acts in the name of religious worship. Hurting the environment to maximum for a non existing set of gods.
@@observeoutofthebox7806 Not creating this waste is not practical as it's a culture and it has been the same for many years. Even If you are successful in convincing to stop using these flowers , maybe a few might withdraw .But it's not gonna make any difference.
Next, the flower business is an industry and there are many who's livelihood depends upon this, so a disruption would affect those people too.
The incense sticks are less toxic than the ones you get in the market as the charcoal content is low
@@observeoutofthebox7806 why people give boquet during marriages , special occassions aren't they harming the flowers? If flowers are not plucked then also it will die after few days. Who will collect that waste? What about smoke coming from vehicles , factories, lighting cigarettes? Aren't these causing more pollution compared to just these flowers
@@observeoutofthebox7806 While plucking out flowers might seem like lowering the amount of nectar available to bees and insects. It's logically wrong. Flowers are cultivated in such a large scale because there is a demand. Or else the bees and insects would have even less flower available to them. Moreover, these aren't the only flowering plants, many flowering plants are used as vegetable for other parts of that plant.
TLDR: Large demand creates larger area of cultivation of flowers than naturally possible. Hence, they help sustain larger bee population.
@@sublimefermion2205 yeah sure. Flowers are cultivated in large swaths of lands because of demand. So that means if you buy more there will more demand ayy? Due to reducing supply of stock. So more expansion? If you stop showering a shit ton of flowers into the rivers and temples how much would the demand go down ? No need for expanding production.
The goverment can simply export all the flowers.
Flowers might have been great part of our lives when we used to live in hay and clay huts.. when we used to forage in the forest and lands and pick them by our hands. But now there isn't much need for them except for being capitalised into industries like selling flowers for worship, for incense sticks, for perfumes, for soaps, for cosmetics. Whose fault it is to give into this ?
Very motivating to see people coming up with brilliant ideas like these . Feeling proud to be an Indian ..
What about the cadmium, lead etc. in the flowers that is a problem when thrown in Ganges? How do they remove that from the flowers before producing the incense?
There soaked in water.
Also the quality is very good for the product
and much cheaper
I thought the same thing!
They're full of heavy metals, we shouldn't put them into the river.
Let's concentrate them, burn that and breathe it in.
@@crazykeejan6981 Does soaking in water remove heavy metals and other toxins from WITHIN the petals?
Not all flowers are grown on land having heavy metals.
Cadmium and lead?

Beautiful start-up... Appreciate the efforts and boldness behind the decision, Mr Ankit
This is so dope, the things humans can make by hand is endless
Now this is what I call real Climate activism !
Instead of throwing it into the water they burn it now ( CO, CO2 etc). I'm sorry, but could you explain to me what's the benefit for climate?
@@manharrajesh7356 So, instead of burning olefins (chemicals) and throwing flowers in water to turn it into waste, here flowers are being converted and burned reducing the pollution by half.
No olefin chemicals + No Water pollution = Yes to Flower incense sticks ( half the pollution).
@@manharrajesh7356 I understand that perspective too, but considering that incense is a necessity in India, replacing those normal incense with these incense made of recycled material seems logical cuz it prevents the consumption of new materials needed to make normal incense and also gets rid of the flower waste at the same time
@@manharrajesh7356 water pollution is a bigger problem than co2 in the air
It's not.
People above me are pretending it is, but it isn't.
These Indian cottage industries use the centuries-old traditional Indian flower offering as their primary component for their products.

Marigold is not Indian its Mexican
@Zap Strike yes I know for hindi rituals but he said century old and the marigold didn't come to Europe from the americas til 1700s? So it probably didn't get to India till early or late 1800s

And given that they consume the least meat of all communities in the world because of their religion, they are already contributing more to environmental conservation than any other, as the meat industry is like about 10000s of times less environmentally friendly. So they already lead by far, THE most environmentally friendly way of life already. How about you don't judge other ways of life?
Because if the one community who never in their history desired to invade other nations and massacre millions upon millions only because they practiced a different way of life, were "pa gan", or "ba Rbaric", or "heR etics", began behaving like those others whom you seem to think are superior, then someone like you would've probably already been prosecuted for religio"phobia", banned from youtube, subjected to other forms of harassment, etc. Be consistent in the way you assess and evaluate others, or atleast try.

India is not the only place where flowers are wasted by the tons 👀
Working in the wedding industry, you would be surprised what is wasted.
Most of the time, flowers don't even make it home with guests or the couple- they go directly into the dumpster after the wedding is over. Super depressing.
Flowers are the biggest expense of a wedding and sadly, the most wasted. Something like this would be wonderful
After weddings I like to take some flowers when no one is looking 👀🌺
maybe the unwanted flowers can be send to nursing home/hospital to brighten someone's day?
@@worldcitizeng6507 unwanted but untouched flowers are safe to send and is a sweet gesture, to the people in nursing homes and hospitals. But waste flowers from wedding events means they're already touched and mishandled, and it's more depressing to send literal wastes to nursing homes and hospitals. Also biohazardous, too, cuz too many fingerprints left on them that you never know what germ is already on them.
If I looked at an amateur business/market perspective, flower-recycled incenses might not thrive in USA and Europe as well as it does in India because of the cultural/religious differences between the countries (though it's still worth investing into as USA is a melting pot of cultures, too) but flower recycling business may do very well when the founder perfects his formula in making flower-recycled vegan leather and styrofoam. That's going to be revolutionary! It can reach every country.
Sidenote: maybe create an alternative product like candles from flower wastes. They can be marketed together with incenses, too, all over the world.

India's Ganga river is one of the world's most polluted river.
India's cities like Mumbai and Chennai has one of the worst slums and social inequality in the world.
It's a failed democracy there.
@@guyfawkes6428 so let me get this straight, your argument is that because those people eat less meat (seems more like your stance is all assumption based), that correlates to being the most environmentally friendly... Yet it's alright and dandy to turn a blind eye to the fact that it's completely okay to allow the concept of religion to be more of a priority then to simply stop wasting an absurd amount of material, in this case flowers for religious and cultural means, because culture is more important...
Your argument displays the idea of how singular your train of thought goes as far as the whole concept of environmental problems and to make exceptions to any single act of pollution by any group of people is laughable. All in all hypocrisy is all around and we'll never save the environment with such thinking if we continue making outrageous exceptions all in the name of religion or what have you.
@@haylnanna5575 It is not an assumption pea brain, it's a fact. India has the largest vegetarian population per capita in the world, and the vegetarianism is based on principles of religion, you can look it up if you want. Due to this, they are responsible for far less damage to the environment than any other community, because the meat industry is by far, the greatest contributor to environmental destruction, as well as to the rise in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere per year.So, given this fact, no foreigner is qualified to question the environmental friendliness of our way of life.
Secondly, culture is dictated by people's free will, and it is pretty hateful of someone like you to suggest that hindus should possibly be prohibited from practicing their way of life, only because certain aspects of it seem to be superficially detrimental to environmental conservation. You seem to be of the belief that hindus are less worthy of having the basic human freedom to practice their way of life than followers of other ways of life, as flowers are used in many different cultural practices all over the world, yet you object to the least harmful one, out of no other reason but hatred. What about plucking flowers for unnecessary bouquets during weddings in other cultures? The flowers are thrown away afterwards. So do we ban bouquets? The spillage of tons and tons of blood on public streets during mass open goat slaughters every year during eid is about thousands of times more unhygienic and environmentally unfriendly, so do we ban eid? Any and every event whose only purpose is entertainment and enjoyment, which may have a detrimental impact on the environment must be banned by that logic. Many, many exceptions are already made, all over the world, for cultural practices, all far more outrageous than the one in question, which are so commonplace that you too, are definitely guilty of having participated in atleast one of those and polluting the environment more than the average follower of indic culture. What is outrageous is your hinduphobia disguised as environmental concern.
Exactly, at the moment bitcoin is the best and
profitable coin to buy and invest in.
Crypto trading is very profitable when you trade
well.
How does this whole bitcoin thing works, I'm
interested in it and willing and ready to invest
heavily but I need an assistant to properly guide
me through on how to make a good startup and
be successful in it without making mistakes.
Just bought $10k Ethereum and $30k bitcoin
with the recent dump in crypto I was told it's the
right time to buy and get ready for a skyrocket.
The only safe reliable,genuine and highly
experienced expert I can refer you to is Mrs
stacy Griffin Kartner
Wow! Impressive you trade with Stacy Griffin Kartner too! I thought people don't know her
that we... She's really awesome!
Superb... This is how masala agarbatti is made.

My only question if the flowers contain harmful chemicals do they process out? Though I bet that place smells amazing!!
Harmful chemicals in the water is much worse than in a ashe tray below the scent stick. Although I'm not sure if any of the toxins can be released with the burning scent, if so then it's a shitty idea 😅.
They state on their website that they use some sort of detoxifying spray and that they wash away the residue.
Just come to India, you will literally get amazed by the various smells of these incense sticks and i am sure you will take them home
Drying substances releases the chemichal xlene from the flower due to a low sublimatio point...Others will end up in the ashtray which i think is not as harmful as in the river
Yes. They process out the toxins and use the water in thier vermicompost pit.
Employment+ swatch Bharat😍. This man is a true Indian 🔥🔥.
What a great way to increase employment and reduce water pollution. More such flower recycling factory should be created across India. Thank you for ur efforts
Namaste 🙏🏿
Such a lot of hard work, my good wishes and energies of wellness for these workers. Nice way to recycle. The owner of Phool is doing a good job. Thank you all for saving the planet.
Proud to see such transformation happening in India😇
How about not creating this wastage everyday in the first place ? Flowers are reproductive organs of plants. Plucking them everyday means their chances of spreading and also food for insects like bees and humming birds is being taken out in huge amounts. Disrupting the entire eco system affecting the bee population and agriculture too.
And turning them into incense stick is worse than letting them rot away. Now by burning them you are just adding a bit more CO2 into the atmosphere than there should be. Letting them rotting will man it just becomes fertilizers for soil and food for small worms and insects.
This is a set of most selfish acts in the name of religious worship. Hurting the environment to maximum for a non existing set of gods.
@@observeoutofthebox7806 people just like to ignore the truth

@@freepalestine7123 sadly yeah it seems. But I am glad at least one person noticed
@@enigma8893 yeah mate. Because I want everyone to just wait and think second before mindlessly praising it.
It's a business not a service.
Been using Phool incense cones for about a year, I don’t think I’ll ever switch to anything else. Not only is it a beautiful product, but it also have a beautiful mission and story behind it. (Not to mention, beautiful packaging too!)
Where do you buy yours?
@Zap Strike 😂😂
I wish his business a lot of success! It’s a great idea that helps everyone.
Ankit ji... U are such a inspiring man. U serve humanity.. Thanks 😊
Absolutely amazing concept! Hats off to the entrepreneur and all the workers ❤️

A lot of ppl are commenting about the pesticides ending up in the incense sticks. In their FAQ I found out that they seem to use some kind of spray to bind the pesticides to wash them away later.
I was born and brought up in Kanpur. And today I am so proud of what you are doing. This is an amazing initiative and I wish you all the best Ankit.
I am so happy and proud of this person. Thankyou so much 🙏💗
This is just brilliant .I had this kinda idea way back but had no direction and nothing to proceed with .Great work. 👍
I like how Indians dominate the whole comment section whenever a video tells about their country, Proud of you all!! ♥️♥️
They aren’t always positive or respectful
@Harshdeep Singh yeah they kinda get racist side

@@srazczar5523 you don’t need to be sorry
Why aren’t more people this ingenious? There is always a way, even if it is difficult ❤️
More than often, big companies would buy small companies that have visions like this, and shut them down.
Excellent and brilliant idea. Great service to mother earth and ma Ganga
This is called creativity ... hats off...
Question, so if the flowers contain arsenic, lead, and cadmium, how does the company ensure the workers arent exposed to these chemicals while processing all these flowers every day?
I have the same question.
Do you know there is a medicine in homeopathy named arsenic made from this poison from flowers and this medicine is recommended as a precautionary medicine for corona
And doesn't the burning of the incense sticks release these same chemicals into the air as they burn? (Not sneering, genuinely curious)
@@itinerantmendicant it does, but it is still a cleaner option to the incense sticks we burn rn. And since we Hindus aren't giving up worshipping any time soon, at least we'll use cleaner products.
'coz they had to show India and esp. Hindus in the negative light. Dare they make any such video on the meat industry and mass scale massacre of animals in the same negative light.
How do they remove the chemicals mentioned in the beginning from the flowers?
They don't. Those chemicals are from the growing process. From the soil, pesticides, etc....perhaps some are removed in the drying process,(that's a guess). The point is, its not put in the river water, AND they're less toxic than most incense made from charcoal. The video literally explained this. Maybe watch it again w subtitles on.
they don't you inhale them when burning incense
@@jannahhendersons2080 thank you, well said
It seems they wash it after clean the flower from rubbish and other dirt
@@jannahhendersons2080
Jannah, rather than insult someone and say to watch it again, learn a little bit about chemistry. Just drying the flowers doesn’t make the toxins disappear. So rather than the toxins dissipate into the water they are put into the air.
This is simply awesome. What a legend. This is the kindda business and smart problem solving we should support more. Kudos to this guy!!
The packaging is beautiful!!
It's not " Fool" 😂 its " Phool" P has a soft sound in the word , somewhere between : " Pool " and " Fool" they are flowers not idiots
Don't expect westerns to pronounce our words correctly. We butcher their languages, they butcher ours.
So true😂😂😂
Let's pool for likes
It's used as a pun by cringe lords too
It is fool. Only a fool takes flowers and give it to God and then it gets thrown in the back yard.... fool
The flowers are given new lives Spiritually as well, from the temple for the temple, it comes as a full circle
Wow,very creative and productive recycling of flowers..
I'm their customer since they started 3 years ago, a small start up. They make perfect cones and agarbatti. Absolutely beautiful. Can't appreciate them enough. I keep buying and gifting these every month and especially on festivals. 100 percent recommend.
Their eucalyptus, rose, jasmine and vetiver are my favourite.
Such a beautiful and interesting project !!! Wish there’re will be more people like him around the world !
What an awesome entrepreneur, extremely intelligent and yet also very in touch and compassionate.
Bravo Ankit 👏👏 that's true service to society and nation 👍😊
