Product "Life Cycle Assessment" (LCA):Raw Material.

- Healthy and environmentally clean raw material i.e. sand, cement & cellulose fibres. The cellulose fibres are derived from the cultivated plantation and not from the forest wood.

- The production process makes use of the fly ash andrecycled cellulose fibers. These both recycled elements help cleaning the environment.

Manufacturing Process.- Mahaphant is equipped with a modern production

process operating on ZERO WASTAGE basis.- The production process involves no toxic emissions

and wastage.- SHERA is also equipped with our state of the art

capability for ROUTING process maintaining the manufacturing unit dust free.

Factory Finish- The complete range of SHERA is offered in ready-to-use

stage state.- SHERA board offers the best substitution to plywood,

chip wood, MDF etc in paneling segment of application. This reduces the usage of wood and also reduces the maintenance or replacement problems associated with wood.

- SHERA wood range offers substitution to natural wood in decoration segment. Hence SHERA helps protecting environment by protecting wood from usage in building & decoration industry.

Installation- SHERA facilitates a dry installation offering benefits

of rapid construction and "No Wet Work" reducing the usage of water in construction.

- SHERA products facilitate and complement the new technologies involving "Earthquake Resistant Buildings".

Usage & Maintenance:- NO EMISSIONS - SHERA passes the Emission Tests for

"Fibre-Cement Boards" conducted according to ASTM D5116-06 Standard.

- Non toxic maintenance.- SHERA products in building and construction do not

need chemical pasting for termite control. Hence SHERA saves from chemical pasting.

- SHERA products, being composed of calcium silicate base from sand & cement, offer the best and natural resistance to fire.

End of Life (Durability)- The "Autoclaved" SHERA products

offer a durable life which not only require fewer resources for replacement but also reduce repair costs.

"Embodied Energy" (EE):Raw Material Extraction: SHERA uses the basic raw material namely sand, cement & cellulose-fiber. Sand & cellulose fibers are used in semi natural form treated with low energy whereas the proportion of cement is relatively less.Energy in Production: SHERA used relatively lower energy in manufacturing process. Maximum temperature usage is less than 170 degrees Celsius utilizing the latent heat of steam. Hence our technology enhancement uses much lower energy in comparison with other industries in the same product group.

Regional Availability: SHERA is continuously working on creating regional warehousing nodal points that ensures the regional availability of products. SHERA is also in the process of developing multiple manufacturing units to support easy availability.Energy in Installation and Maintenance: The installation technique required for these products is of very traditional in nature using very low energy. The maintenance eliminates the toxic elements like paste control etc.

We continue to develop and offer unique products under our quest of "Green Product" from "Green Technology" for "Green Living".
