Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 4 (ANI/NewsVoir): Cycle Pure, the world's largest incense manufacturer headquartered in Mysuru, is the world's first and only company in the home worship segment to earn the Zero Carbon or Carbon Neutral Certification.

The company has reduced 11.040 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e) through carbon offsetting over the last eight years.
Speaking about the certification, Arjun Ranga, Managing Director, Cycle Pure Agarbathi, says, "At Cycle, our purpose is to provide hope for future generations. By doing the right thing. Every prayer is a hope for a better future. Today, as climate change unfolds before our eyes, it is our responsibility to provide a healthy planet to our future generations.

We urge everyone to join hands to combat climate change for the wellbeing of all beings, for generations to come."
