Modern-day home entertainment is about technological upgrades with sustainability at its core,” says Sushil Motwani

On Earth Day, the founder of Aytexcel Pvt. Ltd, says the growing popularity of laser projectors reflects consumers' inclination towards greener options

 

According to PwC’s ‘Voice of the Consumer Survey 2024,’ consumers are willing to spend an average of 9.7 per cent more on sustainably produced or sourced goods, even amid concerns about the cost of living and inflation. This shift towards sustainable products reflects a growing awareness, with nearly nine out of ten respondents, that is 85 per cent, reporting firsthand experience of climate change’s disruptive effects on their daily lives.
 
 
While consumer awareness of sustainability goals is a positive trend, several elements are unknowingly contributing to climate change. One key factor is the rising e-waste. Despite not wanting to contribute to the problem, the rapid pace of technological advancements forces consumers to seek out updated devices, which inadvertently increases e-waste.
 
 
Meanwhile, data compiled by the Ministry of Urban Affairs and Housing last year revealed that India saw a surge in e-waste generation from 1.01 million metric tonnes in 2019 to 1.75 million metric tonnes in 2024. In light of this growing concern, industry leaders in consumer tech are emphasising the need for sustainable innovation to be at the core of every durable consumer product. They believe occasions like Earth Day serve as strong reminders of this need.
 
 
 “We must think of more sustainable options in every possible sector,” says Sushil Motwani, Founder of Aytexcel Pvt. Ltd, the official India representative of Formovie.
 
 
 
 He adds,  “For example, entertainment is an essential part of life. Devices like radios and televisions were staples in every household during our childhood. Now, with technological upgrades, we have seen the rise of smartphones, home entertainment systems like UST projectors, and gaming devices like Xbox.”
 
 
Motwani says that the general shift toward sustainability is becoming visible in the home entertainment segment as well. “Consumers now prefer wide-screen entertainment and are increasingly turning to devices like laser-powered Ultra-Short-Throw (UST) projectors as alternatives to traditional TVs and lamp-based projectors,” he adds.
 
 
 
 He points out that laser-powered UST projectors are more energy-efficient than traditional lamp-based projectors. “These modern devices do not require high-wattage lamps and help in avoiding the mercury pollution associated with older models. They also consume significantly less energy per square inch of display compared to large TVs, which require more power to illuminate wide LED or OLED panels. Their ultra-compact design reduces heat emissions, and many models are built using recyclable materials and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes,” says Mr Motwani.
 
 
He says that the future of home entertainment is not just about performance but purpose. “There is a growing emphasis on creating products that are both innovative and environmentally responsible. Devices that integrate eco-friendly materials, smart power management, and energy-saving features to reduce carbon emissions will be consumers' prime choices. That’s why modern-day projector manufacturers like Formovie are making projectors that keep customers up-to-date, so they don't have to worry about their devices becoming outdated,” concludes Mr Motwani.
