150 Million Tonnes of CO2 in India
The Solution: Crop Residue Based Products
ABOUT CRASTE
India produces 500 million tonnes of crop residue every year. 16% of this is burnt and releases 150 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere
We work towards crop waste management by providing additional revenue to the farmers. We convert this waste to make materials for packaging and furniture applications.

FORMALDEHYDE-FREE ENGINEERED GREEN BOARDS
We aim to build a highly durable, environmentally friendly, cost-effective, wood-equivalent, crop residue derived straw panel board using a formaldehyde-free adhesive. For each panel of 8ft x 4ft size and 18mm thickness, we expect to reduce 30kg of CO2 emissions.
80 million tonnes of crop residue is burnt in India. The emission from crop burning is 17 times more than the total annual particulate pollution from all sources. Crop burning is a critical determinant of air pollution in the whole of India. Living in Delhi is like smoking 18 cigarettes a day because of the air pollution.
At Craste, we envision to transform this environmental problem into a socio-economic opportunity. We offer high quality sustainable packaging products and eco-Friendly particle boards made from the Crop-waste.
For each Particle-Board panel of 8ft x 4ft size and 18mm thickness produced, we expect to reduce 30kg of CO2 emissions.
For every ton of paper produced, 24 trees are saved.
