EF Polymer
|
EF Polymer is an agricultural firm. The company came up with the idea to utilize this waste most efficiently without creating any kind of pollution. It developed an Eco-Friendly Water Retention Natural Polymer named "Fasal Amrit" which can absorb 300 times more water than its weight for as long as 10-12 days. It helps to reduce irrigationwater requirement by 30-40% along with a 40-50% reduction in fertilizer because it prevents the leaching of fertilizer causing 10-20% fertilizer loss. The "Fasal Amrit" itself is made from organic waste hence it has a great number of micronutrients to support the better growth of crops/plants. It is organic in nature, chemical-free, and pollution-free, and what is interesting, it is 100% biodegradable in the soil after 5-6 months of application. The farmers can reduce their cost of water and fertilizer by 20-40% and can increase the yield by 10-20%. The application of "Fasal Amrit" includes but is not limited to in-house plants to save them for a week or two in case you are not at your home to water them, keep your garden green forever by reducing the daily watering cycle, enhance the growth of your plant in an organic way, save your plant far from your home or on hilly areas where it is difficult for your water them daily, etc. | $4.1M / Series A / May 10, 2023 | |
