- Millions of tons of sugarcane waste, also known as bagasse, is produced every year. And India grows the second-most sugarcane of any country in the world. That's why Yash Pakka's brand Chuk is creating tableware out of the waste that is usually burned for fuel.

Government should decrease tax for restaurants who use sustainable products
Yep, that would be a great idea.
Tax on food is already negligible, like 5%
@@kunal_5harma But on a large scale, it saves a lot of money and it encourages hotels and restaurants to use eco friendly stuff.
@@kunal_5harma tax 5% naah no one follows that. they charge a lot
And increase tax on companies that produce plastic, increasing the price of plastic making biodegradable alternatives more desirable
companies like this should get all the support in the world
They don't because the average consumer always buys the cheapest and these unfortunately are not the cheapest.
@@SuperBennnnnnnnn At higher scale the prices can become very competitive, if not equal
@@SuperBennnnnnnnn
Just regulate it so that it becomes more expensive.
Like they do to hemp.
Hemp is 20-40 times cheaper than tree-paper-products…yet it’s regulated so that it costs more.
They want to cut down forests.
Do the same thing to plastic.
@@sendthis9480 Petro-plastics are very cheap to make for packaging. But for ME as a consumer, I'd rather pay a few cents more for something more sustainable and biodegradable.
@@sendthis9480 I think this is great its just my sole opinion isn't enough. The mass of people need to think this way to make a difference and the mass of people are going to follow the cheapest goods which are plastics.
I've used these plates during the lockdown, and there was literally no difference in the quality. It felt like a normal styro plate.

Oh please! India said it won't export wheat to only the rich countries that are hoarding food grains amid the global shortage and inflation, while it WILL CONTINUE to provide aid to countries that are vulnerable and actually in need.
The new measures are only to REGULATE wheat export, since it is unfair for Indians having to pay higher than usual, despite India having sufficient harvest to sustain herself, while the countries that CAUSED the war in Europe, leading to this shortage want to BLAME INDIA for the global rise in prices.
You like to conveniently downplay the West's role in being the root cause for the same, as China continues to haord *50%* of the GLABAL reserves of Wheat and *70%* of that of Corn.
With the possibility of a delayed monsoon in India, it's only fair the government puts its own country's food security over the rest, having a population of 1.39 billion isn't a joke.
@@shivani312 brilliantly put 👍, about time v speak"it" as "it" is...instead of sugar coating "it"

Bagasse is already used in

2. Furniture
3. Paper
And now plates and bowls good thing...
And above that another byproduct of sugar cane used in
1. Potassh fertilizer (potsh is not found in India.
2. Ehetenol...used in petrol
3. Cogen
Literally India is using more than 98% of sugarcane...
Proud to see that
It’s necessary because otherwise the companies go bust because they cant lower the price of sugarcane because that angers powerful sugarcane farmers and their leaders. (Read BJP in UP or Sharad Pawar in Maharashtra)
@@aryaaswale7316 apart form politics, this is helping in many ways especially in combating climate change and reducing the fiscal deficit so its win win...

India has changed, and changing day by day now Indian cities looks more beautiful after government banned single use plastic. And these entrepreneurs are doing great job.
I came back to India from USA and surprised how India is changed and now many foreigners come to visit India and do case study. Good job Indian government
Indians man... they're tenacious!! Every time you watch a video w/some kind of (new) machinery to make nearly anything... look in the comments section, you'll find an Indian asking "How much?", "How to buy?", "What is cost?" and giving some kind of contact info!
If anybody's going to solve it, Indians will be right up there on the front lines!!
True that

Hii
It's unfortunate that the his alternative costs more than the plastic plates. If he eventually develops his business to be able to produce bagasse plates for cheaper, I'm sure it will become more common than the wasteful ones.
With the ban on plastics, the demand should increase enough to offset the cost.
@@marvisjames6935 Only issue with the increase in demand, usually results in an increase of administrative costs and costs for expanding their factories. Because the people on top of the business want to become a millionaire/billionaire as fast as possible. Not exactly sure how businesses work financially in India (if they follow IFRS), but for the rest of the world, a corporation always finds a way for themselves to profit first and drain the life of everything around them. Its usually when there is competition when it will result in lowered costs to the consumers. And that is only if another business lowers their costs first, hoping to offset their sales with volume.
The gouverment just need to ban plastic and people Will start to find alternative asap, it cause more problem
Ban on plastic ,new production technologies, environmental awareness , and still many source of raw material people also make disposableware from Crop stubble or parali many things and patal dona now comes again with new design if there is problem and than solution must be also there
Still made of dead plants. Just different dead plants
This is such an uplifting message, to know that there is eco friendly companies and amazing innovative people out there fighting to protect the environment🥹😭😭
Great respect due to this man when I heard that the company hasn’t turned a profit yet but his employees are still being paid a living wage. In the western world, when a company is undergoing a crises, the workers are usually the first to lose their jobs while corporate bigwigs are enjoying their golf.

this is amazing! i hope this gets more popular so that they can lower their prices and people would not buy the plastic ones as a result
Yes. Bleaching is a big deal in paper products, too. One of the reasons paper plants are so nasty is so paper towels, facial and bathroom tissue will maintain perfect whiteness on shelves, indefinitely. Makes inventory management much easier, but I'd buy yellow paper all day, if it were environmentally friendlier, as would most people, if made aware.
Yes! Bleaching is useless and stupid in so many products!
You could also just use a bidet, even better.
Yes I don't get it why toilet paper need to be white.if it is same level hygienic.then slight yellow is good.
@@Daniel-ml4jr Yep bidets for days. I am still trying to get my family to use them. Have not had to buy toilet paper for myself ever since I got one.
@@ColinTherac117 what do you use to dry after washing your bottom.
I wish this man much success!! Kudos to him for paying his workers above decent salary. I truly hope this can work out. Idk why here in USA we aren’t purchasing this?
Idk why in the USA can't you simply use reusable plates like normal people?
Because it isn't shipped there

@GP, because it saves time and people have to work.
USA knows few decades ago, plastic is main cause of reducing males testosterone SO THEY BEEN FLOODING PLASTIC IN USA. Big business for pharmaceutical companies to putting fake testosterone pills that do not help. Plastic way cheap to make. Other we know bad for environmental but they do not care
I absolutely love this! Here in the Philippines nearly the entire island of Negros is all sugar cane. If only we could get the Government or private enterprise to do the same here. I will be checking to see if we can buy their products and ship to the Philippines.
Yes! Living in Bacolod right now and this immediately entered my mind
Whoa.. The N word
ricky sanowara: Nope, you’re thinking of the wrong N-word. When you say “N-word,” that is an extreme insult. “Negro” is not an insult, It merely means black and was the common word for Black people until about 40 years ago.

Not only is he doing good for the environment, but he’s actually paying a livable wage.
This is what makes this guy an amazing and clever human being, hear me out:
Looking for alternatives to tableware made out plastic✅
Move factory closer to the sugar cane bagasse producer to reduce carbon footprint✅
Double the local salary for his employees because they deserve, ✅
Try to do good to Mother Nature for future generations ✅

These are real heroes. Government should exempt taxes for ecologically friendly companies as incentive and also lend money to them with low interest rate. In the long run, it would save the government much more in treating the landfills and facing dare impacts of environmental issues.
Love this company Chuk. Very impressive. Would buy those plates if they were available here locally in Oregon. I usually buy paper plates if I need them for something.. Plastic needs to go away.
Yeah people say paper is wasteful but it’s a lot better than plastic since paper is renewable and biodegradable, I’d prefer paper garbage everywhere over microplastic in fish and even drinking water like it is now
Sugar is mostly grown in florida, the OG (and the origin of the real og) of sugar growing also... just like indoor. We had these in Florida schools 20 years ago.. ha.
Florida has been makin em for like two decades for schools heh.
Every paper plate has a plastic film on it hence defeating the purpose of eco-friendliness, I would suggest the use of reusable utensils instead.
Best junk your puter now then and only use pencil and paper.
Ironically, no examples such set ups from developed world.. but of course as per this video, plastic is nuisance only in developing world like India.

I’ve been buying sugarcane bowls on Amazon for a long time. Holds water overnight and never gets mushy. Better than paper by far.
I'd support this guy's company if his products were available in the USA. I could order them online, but arguably it's more accessible when sold in grocery stores and there for more available to restaurant industries, theme parks, events, and so forth. Also a huge fan of mushroom packaging, also a company I would support if I found a product packaged by them.
The US produces tons of sugar, probably more than India. So, yes, we should be making those kinds of things here.
@@FLPhotoCatcher no , Brasil is no 1 and India is no 2 at sugar production .
@@chucklebutt4470 yeah they probably burn it and generate power. It's a bad fuel but it's basically free. I'm from from another part of India and that's what we do here.
It's probably more eco-friendly to buy local plastic containers instead of shipping this overseas. The best way would be to produce these locally.
you can purchase from his online store and become a supplier in your country. There you starting your own distribution company
Offer these for sale on Amazon or local retailers in the US, it would fly off the shelves. Better yet, offer it a warehouse clubs where we can purchase in volume. Our family uses compostable wood cutlery due to the fact that total price for a GIANT 400+ Piece set is about $17.00 vs 15 for plastic. This would be a welcome alternative to paper plates for picnics and gatherings. Plus vs water use in our area, these would be great to use during the week some nights to save on water.
No
It might globalize his business, but you saw that he did not compromise even when it came to his packaging. The company strived to live out their goals and values, so they sourced entirely biodegradable packaging. Why would they compromise when it comes to the market their item is sold in? Amazon, while it could increase the cash flow of the company, is not a marketplace that is in line with the values of the company. From the product, to the packaging, to the marketplace.
Florida has been using these in schools for like 20 years... we had these in school when i was there... as we are the king of sugar crop in the states... 🧠

In Jamaica, when we had a thriving sugarcane industrý; the trash from the squeezed sugarcane was made into bagasse sheet boards - similar to plywood. But it wasn't totally from ground-up material; you could see the dried long sugar cane stalk.

True, my dad carries containers in a bag, we buy our meat from fresh meat shop nearby , and they pack it in our home containers, this way we have reduced around 10 plastic boxes per month.

A better use for it is to replace Portland Cement. If you replace 20% of Portland Cement with bagasse no harm is done to the strength of the resulting concrete - and in the process, less CO2 is emitted and the material doesn't need to be transported from long distances - as long as there is local sugarcane production.
This looks like it could be an amazing replacement to normal plastic plates.
This is an AMAZING idea! I love seeing recycling initiatives that are economically viable, environmentally sustainable, and socially beneficial.

this is such a good idea
i hope this company works out, india needed this badly
I hope everyone can see the difference that this man is making; not just to the environment but also to everyone he's working with - his employees. This man does not just focus on solely raising a profit for himself. He understands the process all too well and because of that, he values his employees more and always goes back to his reason why he's doing this. I hope everyone who always reacts to how expensive environmental-friendly products are, sees the reason why - you're not helping restoring the environment. You're also helping a lot of workers in return.
love the resilience to continue the company ethos even though it may have economic costs
Costs will decrease with volume
Clever idea and good execution. I love these businesses that literally take waste and turn it into value. Great work!
Can I know the cost for setting up a company like this along with employment cost electricity cost and production cost?
Kudos to this company ❤️
Nice to know of such initiative turning waste into reusable material and at the same time providing an alternative to ever increasing challenge of plastic waste.
