A consciousness about the need to preserve and protect the environment has led Ideas Incorporated to design and develop products of daily utility made from materials that pose no hazard to the environment. Reflecting the elegance that defines the rich Indian heritage and culture, its products are outstanding examples of traditional creativity. Paper products are made using fully recyclable, bio-degradable and wood-free raw materials. Made from fresh cotton waste, they use natural dyes and flower petals and grass, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the products. Eco Corner, the ongoing exhibition of items made from nature-friendly substances, is a celebration of innovation through environment consciousness. On display are paper and stationery products, home accessories, aroma products, sculptures and bags, among other items.
