should be there for the real this season of being the publication administrator, as well as since I had a comment that may help us out in a beautiful way.

The feedback we’ve received from readers and organizations affiliated with our distribution have revived my faith. I owe you a huge debt of gratitude for your tireless efforts on behalf of my gathering. The life of a corporate visionary is difficult, and we are frequently forced to take detours. If you enjoy it, starting a business from the ground up will need everything you have, including your soul, blood, and sweat. While you may have your own set of skills, as a businessperson, you need always be aware of your surroundings. You should be informed about what’s going on and what’s not going to happen in the next day based on what’s happening on. The main story has included marvelous personalities that are the founder of bambooos-Genuinely Green in the year 2016 by Indrani Mukherjiee & Samrat Saha. The manufacturing startup company was formed with the mission of manufacturing world class beautiful environment-friendly products.

Seagrass Technologies

Cultivating Marine Algae For A Healthy Sustainable Planet What is Seagrass? Algal biomass is widely regarded as the most reliable source for addressing many well-known issues such as starvation, carbon emissions, and fossil fuel depletion. It is quickly gaining traction as one of the most potential long-term biomass and oil sources. Seagrass’ main goal is to increase the production and availability of the most important algal biomass to combat malnutrition and create a sustainable environment. Seagrass Technologies Private Ltd has identified the potential of establishing an industry focused on eliminating barriers to nutrition within the country’s food supply, as well as raising awareness of the product’s enormous nutritional benefits and the importance of the algal biomass venture market in India and abroad.

Their unique creations Seagrass has created a patent-pending system for cultivating three major marine algae, particularly the Dunaliella salina (DS) microalgae, a challenging marine species that produces a high concentration 22

of β-carotene for antioxidant and nutritional food additives. The plant hastens greenhouse gas reduction, which keeps the product’s quality high. Seagrass has devised a technique for harvesting contaminant-free biomass that is automated along with solar technology that is integrated for energy conservation. This marine algae biomass is produced from certified, qualitytested food-grade pond liners. In Tsunami-affected areas, technology has been optimized to employ non-cultivable land with optimal utilization of renewable algae culture. Under outside conditions, the platform was tailored to grow three of the most valuable Marine Micro Algae species using a patented growth process. Their current study focuses on LED Stress Studies to improve product yield and quality. Their main technological platform provides cutting-edge cultivating methods that boost crop capacity while lowering production expenses. This harvesting technology grows marine microalgae using non-potable water, such as seawater, and nonarable land. JULY 2021

Their commitment With strong quality control systems and processes, they promise to deliver quality-certified algal biomass. For safety and quality, they promise to offer product grading and certification from industryleading test labs. They only use approved harvesting and farming procedures that meet international standards. To develop a broader understanding and consumer acceptance, they aim to raise awareness about the benefits of algae and promote the “Green Planet Initiative”.

Monisha Reddy, Co-Founder & Director

Mr. Prakash Ramadass Director & Co-Founder

Why choose Seagrass? Seagrass is the FIRST business in India (and Southeast Asia) that uses saltwater to generate the three additional Marine Micro Algae. They’ve developed a proprietary technology for cultivating ALL three major marine algae, particularly the Dunaliella salina (DS) micro-algae.

Applications of the algae This algal product has found application in a variety of different other products such as antioxidant and nutritional food supplements, pigments and oils for nutraceuticals (Omega 3 EPA/DHA), natural cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, animal feeds, fertilizers, bio-fuels, and bio-plastics.

Their Goal The company’s goal is to develop technologies to develop high-value-added algae “green” products that are scalable, profitable, and sustainable around the world.

Climotion Revolutionary Software For Controlling Airtreatment Installations What is Climotion? Climotion provides a full range of services for the design and implementation of a BaOpt installation, as well as serving as a knowledge hub for advisers, installers, and measurement and control technology firms.

The need for Climotion Air treatment and ventilation are becoming increasingly important in producing a comfortable working and living environment. Air treatment not only assures comfort, but it also helps to a building’s energy efficiency. A directed stream is created with traditional air treatment, which then arduously mingles both the supplied air and the current air. High, continual airstreams are required to keep the system running, which is far from comfortable. Temperature inconsistency, filthy air spaces, and - most dreaded by building occupants - a cold draught are all well-known issues. Users complain about the working environment in more than half of all Dutch offices. 28

The remedy is as straightforward as it is effective. Rather than managing a directed air stream, the BaOpt system manages an undirected stream that flawlessly blends the supplied air with the ambient air. Warmth below the ceiling and cold above the floor are no longer an issue because the entire space is of the same quality and temperature, removing any form of directed air streams and thus eliminating cold drafts

BaOpt BaOpt control eliminates unfavourable working conditions and can be used on a much larger scale. Museums employ BaOpt to keep their collections in top condition, horticulturists use it to improve vegetable growth conditions, and professional ice skaters use it to get the best ice and faster lap times. The best part about BaOpt is that it saves a lot of energy: we carry less air and make better use of the air we already have, lowering energy consumption by at least 25%.

a lot of comfort, but they don’t always work the way a client wants them to. Climotion allows such clients to quickly and effectively address any comfort difficulties caused by humidity, draughts, or temperature changes between rooms. However, a well functional installation is still required. The client may rely on the company’s knowledge when problems develop with current Climotion software installations. Their ‘audit’ entails a thorough examination of their installation as well as potential remedies to any issues that are discovered.  Training

Methods of BaOpt Installation Climotion Software can be connected into a building in a variety of ways for a single and double air supply ducts. One of the company’s partners may programme Climotion directly on a PLC in circumstances where PLC-based solutions (Programmable Logic Controllers) are desired. The partner provides programming, commissioning, monitoring, and optimization services in addition to the Climotion software.

Their systematic approach All members of the company unanimously function by embracing three dimensions:  Advice The Climotion system allows for a more versatile installation layout. A consultant or designing installer’s specific skill is required for maximum results. They also provide the option of having certain components of a design examined as an add-on to their designer training programme. This comprises grid selection, measurement equipment placement determination, and determining the appropriate supply air temperature.

Climotion can expertly complete projects from start to completion thanks to their many years of experience. They achieve this in a variety of ways, one of which is through providing various training programmes. This includes training consultants and installation company personnel who will oversee a Climotion project or implement the Climotion system.

Vasshin Composites LLP

Creating An Emphasis On The Reduction And Displacement Of Plastic From Everyday Use Products 30

JULY 2021

SwiftNLift

Their identity Vasshin is an environmental engineering firm dedicated to establishing a community of people who are committed to living a sustainable lifestyle. They produce a wide selection of bio-based and bio-degradable items that assist to reduce the use of plastic and, as a result, remove it from landfills. Their Goals Its mission is to be the firm that makes environmentally friendly choices at affordable costs so that future generations can enjoy the world. They encourage the widespread adoption of resource consumption patterns that are both economically and environmentally sound. For that purpose, Vasshin has created a oneof-a-kind selection of Eco-Friendly, AntiMicrobial Tableware. Their Core Values They are conscious of the gradual commerce involved in the transformation of pine needles into their products. They shed light on three core principles: ■ Industry– They put forth a lot of effort to create items that make a difference. ■ Natural– They attempt to incorporate as much nature as possible into their products. ■ Experiment - They invite people to explore with materials to discover new ways to be more sustainable. The Inception The Himalayan Pines, a sturdy tree JULY2021

species located on the rugged slopes of the Himalayas, is the source of many Antimicrobial compounds. These trees shed their pine needles and cones, choking off any vegetation and limiting flora opportunities. Vasshin collects these pine needles through their tribal empowerment initiative and combines them with resin to produce sustainable everyday products. The dry accumulation of these pine needles catches fire every 3-4 years. According to the Forest Department’s preliminary information reports, a large number of ground-dwelling uncommon and precious flora has been lost. Not only that but numerous baby animals are killed because they are unable to flee. The fallout is just as bad. Forest fires heat the soil to a depth of 7-10 cm, causing it to lose its water-holding capacity. Excess ammonia produced in ash causes excessive emissions and soil nitrification. As a result of Vasshin’s formulations, they can reduce the carbon footprint and keep everyone healthy as well as trap massive amounts of carbon through the preservation of forest carbon sinks. Their Unique Products Although they manufacture many naturefriendly biodegradable products one stands out. Their new Storage Container with Longer Shelf Life is one such product. Vasshin Agro Composites now offers 1litre containers that not only give elegance to your kitchen shelf with their lovely texture but are also durable. Furthermore, these containers enhance the shelf life of your 31

items by utilizing the power of pine needles. The material has been laboratory tested to ISO/JIS standards and improves cleanliness by resisting mold, fungus, bacteria, and the like, guaranteeing that your food store is safe and lasts longer. Their product’s bio-based is made out of genuine Himalayan Pine Needles, and each purchase not only prevents up to 50 kilos of virgin plastic from entering landfills but also helps to avoid forest fires, conserving valuable flora and fauna. Vasshin’s Agro Composites products are constructed of genuine Himalayan pine needles and help to prevent forest fires in the Himalayas. All of their items are food-safe and BPAfree and have been tested to meet FDA and LFGB requirements in the United States and Europe. This product also has an ISO/JIS validated microbiological reduction of 99.84 percent. This Storage container product is both microwave and dishwasher safe. The packed pine needles give it an amazing texture, giving it a one-of-a-kind touch and sensation to the user. Each purchase reduces total carbon dioxide emissions by 525.584 grams and nitrogen emissions by 38.859 grams, according to IPCC recommendations. Abhinav Talwar, Co-Founder His inspiration to start a nature-friendly company comes from his childhood experiences. Forest fires are ubiquitous in a dry region like Dagshai, Himachal where he grew up. He recalls seeing enormous flames 32

engulfing the vegetation when he was seven years old. These trees used to drop their pine needles in the summer. They would readily catch fire, destroying the entire ecology. This led him to understand the massive loss of life, especially as a result of these wildfires. The environment and the rich ecosystem of northern India are being harmed by these fires. That was something that worried him as a kid.
