FLORAL WASTE
MANAGEMENT

4. Introduction
WHAT IS FLORAL WASTE ?
India is a land of flowers
and they are extensively
used in religious ceremonies
and weddings. Floral waste
accounts for nearly one-
third of the total solid
waste accumulated in the
country. Every year
80,00,000 metric tonnes of
waste flowers are dumped
into the river Ganga.

6. Problems
associated
with the
disposal
of floral
waste

8. Proposed Solutions
• Vermicompost obtained by flower waste is rich in sodium,
potassium and phosphorus
• Incense sticks and incense cones- Indian Agarbatti and dhoop
market size was more than INR 3000 crores in 2011–12. It has
massive potential for charcoal-free, sulphur-free, organic
incense sticks using flower waste. One may also add ayurvedic
herbs to add therapeutic benefits to it.

9. • Using discarded flowers as a source for essential oil extraction to
reduce the addition of waste and promote flower re-usage.
• An Ayurvedic medicine using traditional Indian recipe having many
health benefits — Gulkand is a powerful antioxidant and an excellent
rejuvenator.
• Biodegradable Thermocols can be made from flower waste by
chemically processing it and then moulding it into thermocols, which
are cheaper, eco-friendly, durable than conventional ones.
