Reader Submitted: Cheer Project: 100% Bio-Based and Biodegradable Pine Needle Composite
’Cheer Project’ is a research into pine needles in which the abundant and unwanted material is developed into a 100% bio-based and biodegradable composite material.
The entire process of production was designed to be practiced as a sustainable craft to help generate income in the rural areas of Himachal. It has been an experiment to understand the root of a local material and its potential and possibilities in an ever-increasing demand for alternatives for the production of sustainable objects.
With a forest cover of about forty thousand square kilometres in just Himachal Pradesh, the damage is incalculable with no significant solution to the problem yet
