	environmental polymers... an opportunity
		On a visit to India this week, Deva met a slew of Indian leaders and decision-makers, all of whom he has subjected to the hardsell on his pet project: a chemical additive that blends with polythene resins during manufacture and helps it to degrade leaving behind only carbon dioxide and water.
		The only way out, according to Deva is for government to make biodegradable plastic cheaper to manufacture by lowering the excise duty on the chemical additives, and making dirty plastic more expensive by hiking up the excise duties on non-degradable polythene.
		Deva is a non-executive director of Symphony Environmental, the British company which discovered the breakthrough technology.
