Green Dialogue 2025: When Purpose Spoke Louder Than Words
On June 4th and 5th, something quietly powerful unfolded in the peaceful setting of the International Centre, Goa. It wasn’t just another event—it was a gathering of hearts, minds and voices driven by one shared purpose: to protect our only home — our Earth.
Green Dialogue 2025, hosted by EP Biocomposites Ltd. in association with the Responsible Earth Foundation, brought together people who believe that sustainability isn’t just a word — it’s a way of living, leading and listening. More than just panels and presentations, the two-day event felt like a wake-up call wrapped in warmth — a space where environmental action met compassion and innovation held hands with integrity.
Where Leadership Led With Heart
Shri Subhash Shirodkar, Hon’ble Minister for Water Resource Development, inaugurated the event and presented a vision for a greener future. He stressed the importance of collaboration and shared responsibility towards the environment. The Chief Guest – Shri Mauvin Godinho, Hon’ble Minister for Industries, Panchayats & Transport, emphasised the need to connect government policies with real innovation particularly stressing that sustainability is not just about plans but about small, everyday choices we make.
The most moving moments came from Dr. Prakash Amte and Dr. Mandakini Amte, founders of Lok Biradari Prakalp, who shared their decade-long experiences in serving tribal communities and environmental well-being. Their stories deeply moved all those who were present, offering a quiet but powerful reminder that real change begins with humility, purpose and empathy.
Their legacy served as a powerful reminder that caring for the Earth must go hand in hand with caring for it’s inhabitants.
The Launch of BIO STP PLUS – A Solution for Sustainable Living
A highlight of the inaugural day was the formal launch of the BIO STP PLUS, a compact, plug-and-play sewage treatment plant designed specifically for villas, small restaurants, farmhouses and off-grid establishments. EP Biocomposites Ltd. launched this product on World Environment Day and the inauguration was done by Shri Subhash Shirodkar and Dr. Prakash Amte. The launch drew widespread interest from government officials, environmental experts, architects and sustainability professionals across sectors. This compact STP offers an efficient alternative to conventional septic tanks while promoting water reuse and circular sanitation practices.
The Green Dialogue 2025 Honoured The Change Makers
Amidst the conversations, innovations and collective vision, one of the most heartfelt moments of Green Dialogue 2025 was the quiet recognition of those who have dedicated their lives to the Earth and its people.
Dr. Prakash Amte – was honoured for his work, a lifetime spent walking hand-in-hand with tribal communities—healing not just people, but ecosystems.
Dr. Mandakini Amte – was recognised for showing the world that healthcare and environmental care are deeply intertwined and that true compassion leaves no one behind—not humans, not nature.

Each of these changemakers was presented with a personalised scroll, not merely as a token, but as a gesture of deep respect and collective gratitude—a quiet salute from a gathering inspired by their purpose and moved by their example.
Green Dialogue 2025 – Bridging Innovation
The Green Dialogue event exhibited interactive, cutting-edge, environment-friendly innovations in action. This display allowed the attendees from various backgrounds, including government officials, engineers, environmentalists and CSR professionals, to witness how the new age technology works in favouring sustainable living in the real world and discuss how the deployment of these revolutionised products is effective in their panel discussions.
