  General

We collect the flowers directly from the temples.

Temple authorities in Kanpur are well aware of flower waste and fully support an eco-system where these flowers can be re-used to improve livelihoods. They help collect flower waste in dustbins provided by us and load them on pick-up trucks that bring to them to our facilities.

Please refer to the overall process flow diagram. The temple-waste is sorted to weed out the plastic/idols/paper-plates/garland-threads (15%). Then we spray the flower-heaps with our flowercycling biological culture (one ltr/ton) that contains our IP elements and formulation e.g., activated carbon from the seed of Indian black plum - Jamun (removes Fluoride, Lead). Our spray detoxifies all the major organophosphate insecticides/pesticides to leave a purplish residue, that is washed off. The flowers are then used to make incense, soaps, vermicompost etc. The water is stored and used to make our vermicompost.
The earthworm species used for vermicomposting at Phool digest most of the residue in their gut. Gut extracts from earthworms help neutralize the pH with the buffering of organic molecules. We witness that the worms have developed methods to detoxify themselves so that they can live and eat the residue. But this comes at a cost – Our Earthworms spend a lot of energy on detoxifying. This takes a toll on our earthworm population as a whole: the worms do not reach the same size as other bigger counterparts, and we see a difference in their reproduction rate.

Over the centuries, the population of devotees and the number of temples has increased exponentially. As soon as the flowers are dumped into the water body, they break up consuming dissolved oxygen, affecting the aquatic ecosphere. Excessive pesticides, chemical fertilizers and insecticides are used to meet the growing demand of flowers thus contributing to the problem.

No, as per policy we do not collect or process flowers from funerals. We only collect flowers from temples and other places of worship.

Yes, our packaging currently includes a plastic wrapper to keep the fragrances intact. We are currently researching to find a suitable alternative for it so if you have any ideas, please share them with us at hello@phool.co.



  Incense

Light the tip of the incense stick until it flames. Once the tip is glowing, carefully blow out the flame. Fix into an appropriate holder on a heat resistant surface.

Please note: Caution information can be found on the back of our incense boxes; please ensure you read carefully before burning the incense.

Absolutely not. Every stick of our incense is handcrafted, using only the purest and highest quality ingredients provided by nature.

Yes! Being vegan ourselves, you can be safe in the knowledge that all of our products and the ingredients used to make them are 100% vegan.

There are 40 sticks in each pack, and each stick weighs a little over 1 gram.

Each stick is around 25.4 cm long and will burn for approximately 40 - 45 minutes.

We encourage the principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Our team is working 24X7 on the best biodegradable solution for packaging (including substitute for plastic) and we would love to receive any suggestions or ideas you have for it on hello@phool.co.
