Best out of waste – New approach of living :

The collective amount of waste produced per day by every household is  enough to cover the whole earth and make it a dumping pit. Parijai aims to solve the issue through the use of waste materials like plastic bottles, cans, paper,metal, polybags, vegetable waste and much more into a reusable form.

Handmade pots and vases – Planting a tree is analogous to saving a life. It gives a sense of responsibility and endearment of the environment to the youngsters.  For the plant to survive, it needs proper care, soil and porous media which are given by Parijai's handmade Terracotta pots and vases. These pots are porous, hence prevent root rot and soil diseases. Ms. Ekta has reached out far and wide to give an opportunity to underprivileged sector and rural artisans of India to bring out the their creativity and earn at the same time.

• Handmade Home Decor – Parijai creates numerous home decor items from Teracotta and Paper mache. Rajasthani wall hangings,wall arts , water fall vase, and Wind Chimes are a few to name. These items are made from waste plastic bags, paper mache and hence can reuse the waste paper.
• Paper quilled Jewellery, Key chains- Parijai genus creates customised earrings, necklaces and key chains through a process of paper quilling in which the paper strips are rolled and glued together to create wonderful pieces of jewellery.
• Oil and magic lamps – Beautiful oil and magic lamps customized in various designs are created with Terracotta and they glow up to 8 to 9 hours with just one time filling of oil.

They are in collaboration with Valencia Greens which led to the extension of Parijai into Vertical Gardening , Green walls and roofs. These techniques of planting saplings and tress enable efficient usage of space and resources and are the best way to cover the Massive skyscraper buildings into Green memorials.

The vegetable waste of our household can be used as a manure in vertical gardens to enrich the soil with nutrients and minerals.This new way of plantation purifies the air and absorbs the industrial carbon pollutants helping in filtration of impurities.
