In many underserved schools across India, students lack proper seating, affecting their comfort, concentration, and overall learning experience.  Recognizing this challenge, Confluence Valley – Flavours Private Limited, a leading provider of world-class Flavours, Fragrances, and Molecular solutions to the FMCG sector, sought an impactful CSR initiative that aligned with its sustainability and education goals.  This led to a collaboration with unWOOD, an innovative company producing eco-friendly school benches made from plastic waste.

At Manjunatha Rural School in Nelamangala, Bangalore, students lacked the number of school benches to cater to all. For these children, who dreamt of a better future, the lack of proper seating was something that everyone could not be left unnoticed. Their classrooms, meant to be spaces of growth and possibility, were instead places of discomfort, making learning a daily challenge.

Picket fences are widely used for villas, farmhouse, gardens, commercial establishments, land plots etc. to mark boundaries in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Traditionally, materials such as wood, cement, metal, FRP, and PVC have been used for this purpose. Among these, PVC has been the most preferred choice due to its lower cost compared to wood, FRP, and metal, despite its lower strength. Fencing contractors faced challenges with PVC picket fences, particularly with strength and durability. They sought a better alternative that could address these issues without significantly increasing costs.
