AD : THE WORLD IS NOW SLOWLY REALIZING THE SERIOUSNESS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE . WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON SUSTAINABLE PRACTICE IN INTERIOR DESIGN TODAY ? HOW CAN ONE ACHIEVE AND CONTRIBUTE TO IT WITH RESPECT TO INTERIOR DESIGN AS DESIGNERS ?
HARDESH : Today there are many materials and technologies available that allow one to achieve sustainability , but government policies must encourage the extensive use of them . Only then can it become commercially viable and make a big impact . Without which , large-scale implementation of sustainable practices becomes impractical . At Essentia Environments , we continue to educate ourselves about the sustainable practices , materials and technologies , and implement them in the best way we can . We believe in using locally available materials , and follow global best practices at every level . However , it is not possible to use solar panels everywhere yet . We are still a few years away from that .
MONICA : Our capability to manufacture in-house all furniture , doors , kitchens , etc , required for a project , allows us to ensure that all resources and materials are used to the optimum without leading to any wastage .
