Across India, many thousands of tonnes of flowers and leaves are used in temples, households, weddings, festivals and more every single day. As a natural agarbatti manufacturer, Sugandh Lok has partnered with Oorvi Sustainable Concepts Pvt Ltd, a firm that recycles flowers and leaves that have been used for worship in temples. Our efforts ensure that the floral aftermath of temple worship does not end up in landfills or water bodies.

Temple Flowers

Where do they come from

Founded in 2019 in Hyderabad, Oorvi Sustainable Concepts Pvt Ltd transforms floral waste into a valuable aromatic resource for Sugandh Lok, into protection for our environment, and into sustainable livelihoods for people.

At Oorvi Sustainable Concepts Pvt Ltd’s facility in Hyderabad, collected flowers are sorted, cleaned and dried before being composted or developed into new products. The company gives discarded flowers a second life through recycling and upcycling. Most of its workers and associates are women involved in the Rejuvenators programme.

This processed floral concentrate is used in by the Sugandh Lok agarbatti manufacturing company to make our pure agarbathies, or as called in North India, agarbattis. The flowers add blessings and a touch of holiness to Sugandh Lok, enhancing our commitment to eco-friendly practices and manufacturing.
