The Vice-Chancellor of the PU, Prof Raj Kumar, and Prof Renu Vig, DUI, have launched Recyteq’s Plant Booster. The product is a “natural plant booster” with a 100 per cent natural go-to-home gardening product, made of human hair and free from harmful chemicals.
The Vice-Chancellor also inaugurated the product on the Amazon e-commerce platform.
The Recyteq start-up was started in May 2020 by Ritik Srivastava under the mentorship of Prof Naveen Aggarwal. It is incubated at TBIU, Panjab University, by Prof JK Goswamy and supported by the American Center.
The main aim of the Recyteq is to build a digital ecosystem to collect human hair waste from salons, process it as plant booster, and sell it directly through e-commerce platforms. Human hair is a natural source of the hydrolysate protein and nitrogen. This natural protein increases plant growth and productivity and makes plants strong against harsh weather and pest attacks.
The human-hair based fertiliser also acts as an activator of phytohormones and enhances flowering rate and fruit formation by increasing the absorption of micro and macro nutrients. It comes with a ready-to-use spray application.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising four eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the paper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
