OUR STORY:
M/s. VERTEX ENTERPRISES is a socially conscious ‘MSME’ firm duly recognised as a ‘START-UP’ under flagship programme ‘Start-up India’ by the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, In line with the commitment to beat plastic pollution the company is striving for innovations in green-technologies. As a boon for plastic waste management we embarked upon biodegradable and compostable products which are alternatives to the bio-hazardous plastics and Petro-polymers to save the environment from negative effects of global warming. A dedicated team of professionals actively engaged with various agencies, scientific communities and signed handful of techno-commercial partnerships for fostering the product mix, We started designing, developing and marketing several biodegradable and compostable products under the brand name ‘The Green MANTRATM’.
Innovative research efforts were initiated way back July, 2016 and went through several stages on trial and error basis, finally put to experiment on ground at a designated place within our campus. The process got stabilized and serving the purpose so envisaged.
Idea of bringing out eco-friendly alternatives for hazardous Petro-Polymers is a brain child of creative minds at ´MANTRA School of Business Management’, a professional institute approved by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) under Ministry of HRD, Government of India and affiliated to Osmania University Hyderabad. Idea incubation, R&D, Product Development, Commercial venture formation and all pre-production activities were supported by an NGO named ‘Management Association for Nurturing Technologically Resourceful Assets (MANTRA) as a CSR initiative.
MISSION:
Our main objective is to design and develop viable green-technologies for mitigating GHG emissions by providing an effective solutions, products and processes which are capable of resolving climate change issues and challenges faced during solid waste management while offering multiple advantages for conservation of the environment.
The process so established shall ensure and increase the green cover enormously, support mass afforestation efforts with minimal finances and human efforts and no environmental adverse effects.
We are establishing a process which shall ensure minimum contribution of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions while production, usage and disposal at the end of lifecycle of the product while retaining fertile properties of the soil.
It is envisaged that end of the lifecycle of the product should enhance beneficial properties of the soil to become compostable manure, letting the material to decompose as a result of the actions of aerobic bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms while germinating plants and support its growth.
VISION:
As an official partner of United Nations Global Compact we wish to do our best in reaching the below mentioned Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 for the year 2030.
