Tomorrow is Dussehra. Mark victory over waste too. Use corrugated for décor and crafts that are Safe, Light, and easy to Recycle.
Dussehra celebrates defeating what harms us. Extend it to waste. Corrugated is strong, light, and widely recyclable. It replaces wood, plastic, and thermocol across festive use cases.
Fast ideas you can execute today
Entrance torans and backdrops: Layer corrugated panels. Cut, score, fold. Add paper florals. Skip thermocol.
Kids’ bow-and-arrow craft: E-flute blanks with blunt tips. Paint and play. No splinters.
Mini Ravan puppets: Slot-lock faces and crowns. Do not burn. Reuse next year.
Donation collection box: B-flute with lockable slit. Label for books, toys, or dry rations.
Gift hampers: Micro-flute trays with paper shreds. Fully curbside recyclable.
Community signage: Light A-frames for queues, parking, timings.
Design tips for strength and safety
- Pick B/E-flute for clean edges and crisp folds.
- Use slot-locks and paper tapes. Avoid plastic ties.
- Keep floor pieces off moisture. Add paper feet or tape.
- Keep away from flames. Corrugated is combustible.
After the festival
- De-kit by pulling tabs. Flatten.
- Remove non-paper décor.
- Send to dry-waste pickup or a local recycler.
