In India, flowers are cultivated in a huge amount. Karnataka is the 2th largest producer of flowers after Andhra Pradesh, and next is Tamilnadu. These flowers are mainly used for decorative purposes and for offering to God. A survey report reveals that 40% of the total productions of flowers are unsold and wasted everyday which are thrown in water of rivers like Ganga, ponds lakes and different water bodies or dumped which also creates water pollution as well as environmental pollution. These wasted flowers can be used in various ways & effective utilization can generate considerable amount of revenue. The organic waste obtained after dye extract can be used as fertilizer.
The various uses of these wasted flowers are:
Extraction of colourful dyes from these flowers/ Inflorescences/vegetable peels/Bark.
