As Diwali 2025 approaches, there’s growing emphasis on celebrating safely and responsibly. One of the major highlights this year is the use of green crackers — eco-friendly fireworks designed to reduce pollution, noise, and health hazards.
Green crackers have become the preferred choice for those who want to enjoy the festival while being environmentally conscious and protecting their health.
What Are Green Crackers?
Green crackers are fireworks manufactured with reduced emissions, using low-smoke chemicals that produce less air pollution. They are designed to minimize:
Particulate matter (PM 2.5 and PM 10) in the air
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions
Noise levels, making them safer for children, elderly, and pets
Unlike conventional crackers, green crackers aim to preserve the festive mood without harming the environment or public health.
Benefits of Green Crackers
Environmentally Friendly: Lower air pollution levels help protect the ozone layer and reduce smog.
Health-Safe: Less smoke means reduced respiratory issues, particularly for children, elderly, and asthma patients.
Noise Reduction: Quieter crackers reduce noise pollution, making Diwali safer for pets and communities.
Legal and Compliant: Approved by the Pollution Control Board, green crackers comply with government safety standards.
How to Identify Green Crackers
When buying fireworks, look for these signs to ensure they are eco-friendly green crackers:
Labeling: Look for “Environmentally Friendly” or “Green Cracker” printed on the packaging.
Certification: Ensure the cracker is approved by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
Noise Limit: Green crackers typically produce noise below 125 decibels.
Low Smoke Feature: When ignited, green crackers emit significantly less smoke than conventional fireworks.
Official Logos: Some green crackers carry the CPCB logo or eco-friendly certification marks.
Always buy fireworks from licensed, reputed sellers to avoid counterfeit or conventional crackers being sold as “green.”
Tips for a Safe Diwali 2025 with Green Crackers
Light fireworks in open areas away from houses, vehicles, and dry vegetation.
Keep water buckets or fire extinguishers nearby while igniting crackers.
Follow instructions on packaging carefully.
Educate children about safety and never let them handle fireworks alone.
Dispose of spent crackers responsibly, avoiding littering streets or drains.
