Flowercycling® the waste from temples and mosques in India and Bangladesh through livelihoods
We collect 8.4 tons of floral-waste from temples in Uttar Pradesh, India on a daily basis. These sacred flowers are handcrafted into charcoal-free incense, organic vermicompost and biodegradable packaging material through our ‘Flowercycling®’ technology.
All our products are handmade by our women flowercylers®, providing them predictable and healthy livelihoods. HelpUsGreen® is the world’s first profitable and lean solution to the monumental ‘temple-waste’ problem. Today, orthodox temple & religious authorities want to be a part of our mission -pointing to a change against a century old harmful religious practice of dumping temple-waste in the Indian rivers. We are the genesis of new circular economy model, a stream of waste that was unimagined, pointing to systems change.
