The Problem
Water contamination from industrial waste poses a significant threat to both environmental and human health. Industrial activities generate various pollutants, including heavy metals, chemicals, and toxins, which find their way into water bodies through improper disposal practices or accidental spills. These contaminants can have devastating effects on aquatic ecosystems, disrupting the balance of marine life and harming biodiversity.
​
Moreover, industrial waste often contains hazardous substances that can leach into groundwater, contaminating drinking water sources and posing serious risks to public health. Exposure to contaminated water can lead to a range of health problems, including gastrointestinal issues, respiratory ailments, and even cancer.
Driven to tackle the issue of ensuring clean water access, Lignopure is made from rice husk, a local agricultural waste, making it a cost-effective and easily accessible product that reduces water contamination by adsorbing heavy metal and industrial dye pollutants with an 85% adsorption rate. Purified water with Lignopure is certified by doctors and farmers to be safe and harmless to human health.
