Pakistan is one of the countries which is blessed with natural resources as well as
agricultural lands. With that comes the climate extreme conditions in the same
region.Earthquakes,floods, droughts Tsunami and cyclones are the types of natural
disasters Pakistan faces once in a year or so. As to mentioned the most dangerous
season is From Mid of July to end of September the season of Monsoon is one of the
most disastrous seasons in the country. Pakistan faces floods as a natural disaster
every year in this season. With that comes the living and financial casualties. The
victims of flood are mostly people from rural areas of Pakistan and thus are mostly
affected by it. Stuck in that particular situation affected people faces problems like
sheltering, food availability, transportation and communication. Relief packages
that are then transported to these people contains basic life supplies. But the
problem lies where these supplies doesn't have suitable packaging and a lot of
damage is caused in the supply chain process of these supplies. Also, the afterlife
impact of this packaging when disposed of causes a lot of arising problems for
environment which includes clogging, harmful fumes when burned and an excessive
amount of plastic consumption. Project Karnak introduces a biodegradable and
compostable packagaing made up off bagasse (residue of sugarcane), a 100%
natural material to carter the issue of non-friendly environment material's
packaging in EFP.
