Gandhinagar-based Dungse Labs is trying to use cow dung as a high-quality sustainable building material that will replace particle boards and plastic.

This company creates various products including acoustic panels with cow dung. Dungse Labs is a startup company that makes products including bioplastics with cow dung. They have built biodegradable composites that can replace virgin wood, particle boards, and plastic.

"Dungse Labs is a material design and material innovation startup based out of India and the Netherlands. We have developed bio-based and biodegradable composites out of cow dung. We have also developed bioplastic out of cow dung. Our ultimate goal for this year is to set up micro-factories across India wherever surplus cow dung is available. We are based out of Gandhinagar currently and also the Netherlands," she said.

The conclave was organized by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying in collaboration with the National Dairy Development Board, Startup India, CII, and Telangana Animal Husbandry Department.

Speaking about the future plans for the initiative, she said, "We have developed composites and have got the tests done with our material. Now, we want to scale up the material. So, to scale up the material and also create a decentralized economy across India, we would like to set up some micro factories across different regions of India."

"We have developed around 16 composites excluding dunk Plastics now. The acoustic panel sample here is a product that we are planning to scale up and take out soon in the market," she added.
