Transitioning to alternative sustainable materials can help mitigate the carbon intensity associated with plastic production and its impact on climate change. In this regard, the use of jute for packaging plays an important role from sustainability perspective due to its renewable nature, biodegradability, low carbon footprint, positive impact on soil health, reduced water consumption, versatility, and economic significance. By choosing jute products over synthetic alternatives, individuals and industries can contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.

Manufacture, promotion and adoption of EVs seem to be one of the top priorities of government all across the world including India when it comes to green measures. The aim of this project is to quantify the benefits associated with such a switch compared to the traditional option of using ICE vehicle powertrain and fuel in Indian roads. The upstream manufacturing of EVs is both resource and energy intensive while there is also an inflexion point beyond which EVs have to be driven to become environmentally competitive with ICE vehicles.

Sustainability Assessment of Vehicle Fuel

In a scenario where India is actively pursuing green energy, the objective is to realize the full potential of biogas as a vehicular fuel. Biogas has multiple benefits in the Indian context in terms of energy efficiency, raw material availability, affordable mobility and rural mobility penetration, waste management, as well as several social-economic benefits that come with its usage.

Stocktaking Study on Green Public Procurement in India

August 3, 2023
| Resource Efficiency & Governance

Green public procurement (GPP) is a component of sustainable public procurement that uses public sector purchasing to achieve environmental policy objectives and for green growth. GPP is a process which involves consciously and systematically factoring environmental goals during the procurement of goods, services and works by public agencies. This conscious and systematic factoring involves the use of technical specifications, evaluation of bids and proposals, standards, certifications, and labelling.
