Prayer for Young Entrepreneurs: Celebrating Sustainable Innovations for the Earth and the Poor

22 Ottobre 2024

We thank God for young entrepreneurs responding to the cry of the earth and the poor. In 2017, Nishant Mathur founded Envome, a social enterprise creating biodegradable disposable plates from Areca Palm Leaves, abundant in South India. While plastic plates contribute to widespread waste, Envome offers a sustainable alternative, using 100% biodegradable materials. The Areca Palm Leaves, typically left to rot in the fields after nut harvests, are collected, cleaned, and heat-pressed into plates without chemicals or additives.
