Project Mehr: Enactus Hansraj students upcycle floral waste into Potpourri
In India, around 8 million tonnes of flower waste is dumped into the water bodies every year leading to more than 16% of the total water pollutants. To curb this menace, Enactus Hansraj came up with Project Mehr, an idea conceptualized to mitigate flower pollution by utilizing the floral waste from religious shrines for productive purposes.
Project Mehr’s Potpourri
Potpourri is an assortment of dried natural flower petals used to provide a gentle fragrance. This eco-friendly Potpourri is packed in a 200 gram capacity glassjar provided with a 5 ml vial of fragrance oil. This potpourri is available in two variants:
- Marigold flowers
- Marigold and rose flowers
Potpourri is 100% Biodegradable product thoughtfully crafted by the transgender community to leave your room brimming with fragrance.
