IIT Roorkee Creates Tableware from Wheat Straw to Reduce Pollution

Scientists at IIT Roorkee have found a way to use leftover wheat straw, usually burned, to make plates and cups.

This helps the environment by reducing air pollution and gives farmers a way to make extra money.

They use a special process to turn the straw into a material strong enough for tableware.

This tableware can also break down in the soil, unlike plastic.

The project creates a way to convert waste into useful products such as plates, cups and packaging materials.
