 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Crackers are burnt during the auspicious occasion of Diwali,
marriages or any other special occasion. These crackers are a special
part of any great event. But it's consequences can prove to be really
disastrous. The amount of harmful gases these crackers release
pollute our environment to such an extent that it becomes difficult
to breathe also.
Burning of crackers is really a debatable topic. Some are against it
while some are in favour of it. This topic won't end because banning
crackers may hurt sentiments of some people. Therefore evolution
of green crackers is a very positive approach towards it.
These green crackers reduces harmful gases in the atmosphere to
approx 35% which can prove to be quite effective. Some states have
banned the traditional crackers and have allowed only green
crackers. In order to make people aware about these crackers and to
enhance it's reach, certain steps have been taken as well.
These crackers are of majorly 3 types:-
SWAS – Safe Water Releaser
• They will release water vapour in the air which will suppress
the dust released.
• It will not comprise potassium nitrate and sulphur.
• A diluent will be released for gaseous emissions.
• The particulate dust released will reduce by approximately 30
percent.
STAR – Safe Thermite Cracker
• Does not comprise potassium nitrate and sulphur
• Reduced particulate matter disposal
• Reduced sound intensity
SAFAL – Safe Minimal Aluminium
• Minimum usage of aluminium.
• Usage of magnesium instead of aluminium.
• Reduction in sound in comparison to traditional crackers.
 INTRODUCTION

With an aim to control the increasing air pollution, Green

Crackers are being developed. They are eco-friendly and
comprise components which are less harmful for the
environment.

Given below are all the necessary details about the

development of Green crackers and implementation of their
use by the general public:

• The green-crackers are expected to cause at least 30%

less air pollution in comparison to the traditional
firecrackers.

• The manufacturing cost of these crackers will almost be

the same, or may even cost less than the traditional
crackers .

• To differentiate green crackers from the regular ones, the

system of Quick Response (QR) coding has
beendeveloped.
• The main motive of producing green crackers is to control
the environmental disbalance.

• Green Crackers are environmentally friendly fireworks

and can reduce the air pollution caused by traditional
firecrackers.
NEED, GAP & OPPORTUNITY

❖ NEED :-
• For Pollution free environment:
All species are important for maintaining ecological
balance. If one is lost, the whole natural environment
changes. To prevent the dangerous effects of Global
Warming necessary steps should immediately be taken.
People should not be allowed to cut off trees.

• To Improve Air quality:

Air pollution control helps to secure the quality of the air.

• To Protect human health:

To every human on earth, health is wealth; health is
paramount for the running of our day to day activities,
without which we would have to rely on others to live.

• For the planet Earth safety:

Above points leads to safety of our mother Earth.
❖ GAP :-
• Lack of Awareness:

People are not even aware that such a product also exits.
The innovations that happen in the market, many times the
customer is able to make reach there and Because of this,
lack of awareness is created.

• Product launch:

Using gap analysis, you can assess the current product

features and compare them with your product design
expectations. It also helps you to determine why sales didn’t
meet your sales forecast.

• Less Demand:
If you people do not have the awareness of our product, then
they will not be able to release our product. Due to which the
demand for which the product was there will be less.
❖OPPORTUNITY:-

• Low stock of crackers:

Green firecrackers are available now in the city. But their sale is
sluggish because of their high price and the limited varieties on
offer. Usually an animated market at this time of the year,
Sadar Bazar is more sedate, with only a handful of traders
stocking the permitted crackers.

• Less variant of crackers:

The traders claimed that there were only a handful of

companies in Delhi that could supply the environmentally safer
incendiaries. Because of this most traders have not applied for
a licence.

• An eye on illegal sale:

The cops have alerted the market associations and special police
officers in the markets to keep an eye out for the illegal sale of
banned crackers by the licenced sellers.
SOLUTION
WHAT ARE GREEN CRACKERS

Green crackers or eco-friendly crackers are manufactured from

alternative raw materials to leave a lesser impact on the
environment and pose lesser health risks.
It has been explained that green crackers don't contain aluminium,
barium, potassium nitrate or carbon, making them eco-friendly.
Green crackers not only reduce air pollution; it has been reported
that regular crackers emit about 160 decibels of sound, whereas
green crackers have a sound level of 110-125 decibels.
However, for all their advantages, these eco-friendly firecrackers are
less expensive than the regular ones.

WHERE CAN YOU BUY THEM?

One can buy green crackers at a government-registered shop. Apart

from this, one can also buy green firecrackers online.

FEATURES OF GREEN CRACKERS

1. SMOG free
Few months back we saw how much our atmosphere was
polluted because of bursting of crackers during Diwali. The
thick dense layer of pollution can prove to be hazardous not
only for adults but for young kids too.

2. Less harmful gases in the air

The environment gets filled up with several harmful and
poisonous gases like carbon, nitrous oxide and other toxic
gases. It lowers our immunity & respiratory system.
3. Less garbage
Reducing the usage of crackers can lead to decline in the
unnecessary garbage as well. As our PM and all the responsible
citizen of our country are on a ‘Swach Bharat Abhiyan’,reducing
these crackers could be of vital help.

4. Safe for cattle and pets

These crackers prove harmful not only for humans but animals
also suffer Dogs, cows and other animals suffer because of
noise pollution and other in human activites.

5. Fewer fire-related accidents

Every year while bursting crackers, we witness several minor
and major accidents taking place resulting in loss of
property/life. This can beprevented by staying a bit more alert
and aware.
GREEN CRACKERS: SWAS ,STAR AND SAFAL
These green crackers have been given three different names:

• SWAS – Safe Water Releaser

o They will release water vapour in the air which will
suppress the dust released
o It will not comprise potassium nitrate and sulphur

o A diluent will be released for gaseous emissions

o The particulate dust released will reduce by

approximately 30 percent

• STAR – Safe Thermite Cracker

o Does not comprise potassium nitrate and sulphur

o Reduced particulate matter disposal

o Reduced sound intensity

• SAFAL – Safe Minimal Aluminium

o Minimum usage of aluminum

o Usage of magnesium instead of aluminum
o Reduction in sound in comparison to traditional crackers
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRADITIONAL AND GREEN
CRACKERS

Composition of Green Crackers – They do not comprise barium

nitrate which is one of the most hazardous elements present in any
regular cracker
Composition of Regular Crackers – A traditional firecracker
comprises of six key elements:

• Fuel: Mainly Charcoal or Thermite are present in them all

• Oxidising Agents: Nitrates and Chlorates which produce oxygen
inside the cracker
• Reducing Agents: Something like sulphur, which can burn the
oxygen present in the firecracker
• Regulators: To ensure the speed and intensity with which a
cracker bursts
• Coloring Agents: Multiple colours appear when a cracker
bursts, this role is played by the colouring agents. Given below
are the elements which provide different colours:
o Strontium salts – Red Colour

o Burning of metals – White Colour

o Sodium salts – Yellow Colour

o Barium salts – Green Colour

o Calcium Salts – Orange Colour

o Copper Salts – Blue Colour

• Binders: All the components of the firecracker require a

medium which can bind them
Green crackers will thus help in uplifting the quality of air and ensure
that minimum hazardous material is released into the atmosphere
with its fumes
FEASIBILITY STUDY

BACKGROUNG STUDY:-
Green crackers came into existence because of several reasons.
Discussed below are the same:
▪ In the last few years we have witness many legal battles for
thecomplete ban on traditional firecrackers which have
polluted our environment to a great extent.
▪ In 2019, the Supreme Court allowed CSIR to manufacture
green crackersin bulk and ensure their selling in the market.
▪ Petroleumand Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO)
approved the use of this crackers.
▪ Less pollution, less noise and free of chemicals like mercuy,
arsenic and barium were the factors on which PESO’S
approval was bSED.
▪ These crackers will release water vapour or air as a dust
suppressant and diluent for gaseous emissions.
PRICES OF GREEN CRACKERS:-
WHAT DOES THE SUPREME COURT ORDER SAY
ON FIRECRACKERS?

As per an ANI report, the apex court said in its order, "If it is found
that any banned firecrackers are manufactured, sold and used in any
area, the Chief Secretary of the concerned states, the Secreatary
(Homes) and the Commissioner of Police in the concerned area,
District Superintendent of Police in the concerned area and the
SHO/police in-charge of the concerned police station shall be held
personally liable."

“Following these orders, several states including Jammu and

Kashmir, Odisha, West Bengal and others have only allowed the
manufacture and sale of green crackers”

CONCLUSION
“Better to do something imperfectly than to do
nothing perfectly”
- Robert H. Schuller

Though these green crackers reduces pollution upto 40% only, these
crackers can prove to be effective in a long run. The earth is evolving
rapidly and therefore it's possible that in the coming years we may
see the manufacturing of crackers which produces very little or no
pollution. Green crackers will help in reducing harmful substances
from the environment and to make it more cleaner and healthier for
us to live in.
The traditional crackers make our environment so toxic that it affects
the health of many individuals. Green crackers will help to reduce
that.
Till than we all can play our part of being responsible citizen and
contribute by choosing the green crackers over the traditional one.
